If non-nil, ignore subjects when creating threads.
If nil, articles that have different subjects from their parents will start separate threads.
Threads that are split because the subject changes will still be
sorted as if they were part of the same thread, and
gnus-thread-sort-functions will not apply to these split
threads.
