Not deliberate != not hijacked. Intent is irrelevant. The reply button is for
composing a response to an existing message. The compose/new buttons are for
composing a new message that is not a response to some other message. Using
the former when not composing a topical response to an existing message is
hijacking regardless of intent.

I'm on more than 75. All are the same WRT threading/hijacking. It's just not
apparent when using web mail rather than a dedicated MUA.

In the headers of your message is:
User-Agent: YahooMailRC/397.8 YahooMailWebService/0.8.104.274457
This is not a conformant user agent currently capable of utilizing message ID
headers required for threads to be displayed as threads based on references
instead of emulating threads based upon subject line.
