The X-Mailer header from the message at issue suggests Tini is using some
webmail client I've never heard of before.

<pedantic_explanation_of_email_threading>

Emails have pieces of information attached to them that normally aren't
visible (unless you're using a proper mail client and enable the option to
view all the headers--most people don't, though).  One of these is the
In-Reply-To header, which indicates the message that the current one is
replying to.  Another is the References header, which can contain the
entire chain of messages and replies that preceded the current email.

Those headers are what email clients with threading capability use to
assign a given message to a thread.  So changing the subject line is not
enough to break the relationship between your current email and the
one you're replying to.
