Please thread using message-id.  Gnus threads incoming mail correctly - 
please try using it.  Anand Babu and RK Muthukrishnan have already 
shared their .emacs and .gnus.el files here and it should help to get 
started.

If a long thread merely reads "Subject: The same title for all posts to 
this thread"  how can you quickly tell one post from the other?  Since 
mail servers and agents can use message-id to keep track of the thread, 
we can make good use of the subject line to give titles that describe 
the content of the post.  This way, the archive indexes at 
http://mm.gnu.org.in/pipermail/fsf-friends/ are easier to refer in the 
future.
