Oh, that's easily customisable.  Just do:

  (setq wl-summary-search-parent-by-subject-regexp nil)

Please do tell, I'm interested.

Heh.  It's not the ELisp that's a problem, it's elmo and wl, which
seem designed to handle tens of thousands of messages on a pocket

(Seriously, though -- I'm sure there's people willing to contribute,
but we need a stable, maintained repository that is regularly pushed
into the package repositories.)
