That's the main reason why I prefer not to view email as "conversations".
I corresponded with some people that actually used email threading as a folder system: they looked back for an email in their mailbox with an appropriate subject, and replied to it (or forwarded it) to start a new conversation on the same general subject. I really hated this (it meant that with each little question sent Gmail also sent me all the past correspondence of that person on that particular general subject, that could be hundreds of messages).
