I had noticed this as well (I even take credit for first mentioning the
"feature" to Peter) and I have a fix for mutt users.  I deleted the
Message-ID lines from the offending messages, and mutt's relaxed
threading figured out where everything went based on subject and
In-Reply-To addresses.  If you have strict threads enabled you are SOL,
but I don't, because there are too many broken mailers in the wild.
