You did fine. You don't have to edit the subject line, just reply to the 
message.

Yes, email contains many headers which contain information about the 
email. Your mail client may let you view the headers, for example in 
Thunderbird you can choose View / Message source to see the actual text 
of the email.

I'm not sure which header(s) are used for the threading; perhaps 
In-Reply-To.
