Could you explain the difference between this implementation and

  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-addressing/2005Jan/subject.html#145

There are exactly two "threads" as you put it,

  "NEW ISSUE: EPR comparison rule doesn't support Web services gateways/routers"
  "NEW ISSUE: EPR comparison rule doesn't support Web services gateways/routers [i048]"

Threading (as defined in RFC 2822, 3.6.4) is something quite different,

Such presentation depends on user agents providing proper In-Reply-To,
References, and Message-Id headers; if they do not, user agents have to
guess what the parent message of a message might be. Your user agent
does not provide such headers; it would be really valuable if you could
either change its configuration or switch to a different user agent.
