The e-mail gateway handles References (as well as In-Reply-To) headers both
directions, so it must be a broken emailer. There are couple people using
a broken version of Eudora which always seems to chop the last message ID and
cause their replies to go as a sibling rather than a child of the article to
which they're replying. I wish there were a good way to detect broken or
missing References and reject such messages. :-/
