The two replies I saw from him have these lines in their original headers:

Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Anyone can afford information about build kernel?
Subject: [gentoo-user] =?gbk?B?u9i4tKO6IFtnZW50b28tdXNlcl0gQW55b25lIGNh?=
 =?gbk?B?biBhZmZvcmQgaW5mb3JtYXRpb24gYWJvdXQgYnVp?=
 =?gbk?B?bGQga2VybmVsPw==?=

So the second one definitely came through worse than the first, but
(for whatever reason), GMail didn't signal a topic change. (Usually,
it's pretty good about that)

Maybe GMail was clever enough to pick up on something like
X-Reply-Hash and tie it to a thread. Dunno.
