replies using using original subject line

[Aamer Akhter]

Hello,

I'm evaluating gnats to see if it can help our group keep track of issues we 
find without modifying our current model too much.

I've been reading the following thread:
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnats/2001-12/msg00026.html

and it remains unclear to me what gnats would do if the original submitter also 
CC'd other parties in the PR submission. I can understand that gnats would 
create a new PR, etc. But suppose one of the other recipients responds with 'Re: 
<original subject line>', will gnats create a new PR? or is there some logic 
(which I couldn't find) that says:

1. look we've got a Re:, meaning it's a response to something gnats may already 
know about
2. it turns out in the last X days, there is a synopsis of <original subject 
line>, this must be the same PR, let me append...

is there anything like that? I understand in other environments, this may create 
all sorts of problems, but it probably wouldn't in ours...
