This is a known issue.
See http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2464
For a technical description of the problem, and explanation why
it is not easy to solve, see:

PS: Please do not reply to an existing thread on this list
with an unrelated topic. It screws up sorting of messages
in many peoples' mailboxes and, more importantly, the mailing
list archives, because the In-Reply-To mail header will be wrong.
Just send a new message to the list when starting a new topic,
not a reply to some other random email. Thanks.
