How do I group separate emails into the one conversation if they weren't already?

For instance, I email X, the manager at a client, asking something. Then Z, her secretary, replies with the answer. Is there a way to group these emails into a single conversation?

I don't want to use labels, I really want to group the messages.

I love to have this feature too since some users have the habit of sending new emails instead of replying previous ones – Nam G. VU Jul 31 '12 at 5:16

At this moment Gmail does not have such a feature yet but seems like the team is aware of the issue:

http://mail.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=known_issues.cs&ki_topic=14973&issue=97930

(under Composing and Reading Mail > Messages are improperly threaded)

Maybe you want to let the team know that you are interested in having this issue taken care of by clicking the 'Report' button (I already did).
