To link future email responses to other records, create an Apex Email Service and use the `EmailMessages.getRecordIdFromEmail` function to find the record that matches the token.
addThreadingTokenToSubject	Type boolean Description Optional. Indicates whether to create a unique token for the related record and add it to the email subject. When the related record is a case record, Email-to-Case uses the token to link future email responses to that case. To link future email responses to other records, create an Apex Email Service and use the `EmailMessages.getRecordIdFromEmail` function to find the record that matches the token.
