Gmail's automatic thread/conversation grouping is creating a spam problem for me.  I had a thread with some friends with the subject line of "Hi".  Lately I'm getting a lot of spam with the subject "Hi", which Gmail adds to the "Hi" conversation I had with my friends.  Gmail only allows me to delete entire conversations as spam, but obviously the messages with my friends are not spam.  So to weed this conversation of the spam, I have to go into each spam message, select "More Options", then "Delete this message".

It would be great if gmail could tell the conversations apart, but apparently it can't.
It would be great if I could delete or report as spam a single message with a single click, but it takes several.
It would be great if I could change the subject line of the original conversation (I will never use "Hi" again!!!), but I can't.

Has anyone else run into this or have any good suggestions for dealing with it?

Cheers,
Fred

Weird.. never seen that before. That should not be happening. I just did a test. Sent 2 email, even from the same domain, but from different usernames to my GMail account. Subject 'Hi' body empty.  GMail did not place them in the same conversation.  Sounds like you have some weird behavior.

In any event, can you mark it has SPAM after you've deleted it?  You'd at least want to do that much

I have to agree with msink. That shouldn't be happening.

Anyhow, perhaps you could fool around with some filters, until you find the right one to separate the two. Maybe a combination of "Subject" and "Does not have...".

But it is odd behaviour.
