What happens when you break mail, in one way or another: Your replies are not seen with the messages that they're related to. They get missed, they get overlooked. It gets very hard to follow an ongoing thread when all the messages in that thread are scattered randomly amongst hundreds of other messages, especially when it's important to be able to follow the progress of something along the thread (and no, quoting the entire thread in each message is not the answer). Some helpers will give up helping after finding it a pain to follow an prolonged on-going conversation. Some will give up immediately. And if this converstion was on traditional usenet, rather than an email list, you'd be needing flameproof pants by now. ;-)
Well, I agree but I simply reply in Firefox and by typing www.gmail.com and nothing else!! This is the only way I do. Once I log-in, I don't log-out ever (unless I have to check other gmail account also, which I rarely use) and even if I have to use PC in two-three days, I get directly Inbox because I didn't log out earlier! I know since I am using Linux and with the addons like No Script, this all is secured even when I am not logged out. But really I never thought such technical aspects which are written above!

Having a look at some other posters using gmail, their messages have the requisite in-reply-to and references headers, but neither of yours do. Though I don't know if they're replying through the gmail web interface, or using a real mail client connecting to gmail (unless there's an x-mailer header, not all mail clients put one in).
I know that, in the past, if I've used Evolution to interface with gmail, or used Firefox with their web interface, it had the proper sets of threading headers either way. And recent tests done, just now, using a web browser and normal mail client behave the same.
Are you running some extra privacy options in your browser or gmail? Are you actually using the "reply" function, or are you mistakenly forwarding?
