"Threading" as it is normally used in an email context is where emails
in the *message list* are grouped together with replies under the
message that they are replying to.  You can turn on and off the
threading in the message list with Ctrl-T or View->Group by Threads.

There's a version of "Threading" in things like Outlook that displays
related messages one under the other when viewing them.  But that's
just one of Outlook's oddities.

The only way your reply would be "attached" to the original message is
if you quote the message you are replying to - it is good practice to
quote the relevant parts of the message to give context.  Again, it is
a result of Outlook's defaults that it has become the "standard" to
include everything in your email and add your one or two lines at the
top.  That is not a good standard.
