I assume you are talking about your message in the pipermail archive.
If so, can you point at one such in the archives of a list?

If you're talking about threading in your own MUA (mail client) that
doesn't appear that way in the archive, then I don't think we can help.

Threading in the pipermail archive has nothing to do with the Subject:
header. It is based on In-Reply-To: and/or References: headers.

I'm not aware of any such issue in Mailman.

Sorry, not in the list archive anyway. If there is an example in a
public archive, please point to it.
