If you are talking about messages in a mail list they will all have the same
"from" and all messages in a thread will have the same
"subject" (normally-unless someone has explicitly changed the subject.
Consequently all messages within that thread that meet the subject title will
be displayed.  Therefore what you have seen is the expected action.
