    Hi ChristiD_A,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft community!

    Outlook does not provide a direct feature to merge conversations with different subject lines, the above methods offer alternative ways to manage and reference emails effectively. In Outlook, combining emails into a single conversation can be challenging when the subject line changes. By default, Outlook organizes emails by their subject lines, which means that threads with altered subjects do not automatically group together. 

    You can use Manual Forwarding. For each email with a changed subject line, open it and click on "Forward." In the forwarding email, you can mention in the body that this email is part of an ongoing discussion. You can copy and paste text from previous emails to add context.  If you have several emails to forward, do this one by one, ensuring to reference the related emails in your notes.
