I think it’s because the: [TxMt] Re: «topic» turned into Re: [TxMt]  
«topic», which confirms that it’s just a subject grouping with one or  
two normalization rules.

It could do better. Have a look at actual threading (the screen grab  
was taken by Jacob, hopefully he don’t mind my linking to it):

For mailing lists this would be _so_ much better.

Imagine how much mail I get with topics such as TextMate, Suggestion,  
Feedback, etc. all nicely “threaded” by Mail ;)

Pre-Tiger Mail actually did use the in-reply-to header. Maybe Apple  
(also) had too many problems with people doing a reply to a mailing  
list letter when they should have selected New Letter instead.
