Yes: <break-thread> is a manual operation, and non-reversibly
modifies the mail. The here wished feature would be a display option,
just like sorting, limiting, or collapsing: Harmless for the mail.
Ideally the detached branch would still be linked in some way to parent
thread: Sorted just below, and perhaps linked with a new thread symbol,
or such. But they would collapse as 2 separate threads.
After all a changing title in thread can be a hijacking new mail, an
artifact, or just a topic that evolved. IMHO this wish makes sense.
Bye! Alain.

When you post a new message, beginning a new topic, use the "mail" or
"post" or "new message" functions.
When you reply or followup, use the "reply" or "followup" functions.
Do not do the one for the other, this breaks or hijacks threads.
