No, I filter the subject lines if I'm matching topics.

What I do for the mailing lists (which apparently have no 
parent-child references) is clean up the subject line by removing the 
(re:) portions [coco] portions and trim the strings before searching 
for like-subjects.


For Delphi I take the (Re: #####) ID number and search the existing 
messages for that ID.  Since any Re: ID must reference an earlier ID, 
that ID would already be in the message table.

You can verify all this by looking over the Delphi .txt files.

I build and use:

message ID
parent ID
subject
date/time
category
body
