Oh so that is why all peter's messages show up under another message all
as duplicate messages even though the subject and content is different.
I hadn't noticed the message id's matched on them (I had never imagined
they could or would).

I was wondering what his mailer was doing wrong.  How annoying.  At
least mutt didn't mind, it just made all those messages appear
completely out of order, out of context and hence completely broke
threading.
