That's because it's only using the Subject header to thread, not the
References header, as it should. So, for example, it will assume
(incorrectly) that every post with, for instance, the Subject header
help
is part of the same thread. This is why References headers are superior
for threading -- they distinguish *real* threads. The moz news clients
aren't real sharp; look at how brain-dead their newsgroups filtering is.
