Using

	(setq gnus-summary-thread-gathering-function
              'gnus-gather-threads-by-subject)

in .gnus should help that.  It's the default, though, so maybe you should
just check what gnus-summary-thread-gathering-function is set to.

FWIW, I've found that gnus-gather-threads-by-subject doesn't always work.
I swapped to gnus-gather-threads-by-reference, but it's not 100% either

YMMV, mainly due to stupid mailer that seem incapable of issuing 'References'
or 'In-Reply-To' headers.

Several passes through the 'Customizing Threading' section of the manual may
also help (I think I'm about due for another one).
