I am getting a headache!  O_O

This is what Knode is showing as header references in your message that I 
thereafter responded using Knode and news.gmane.org:

[1] As you can see the Message ID: <20110604232200.36c03637@karnak.local> 
shown on Usenet is different to the Message-ID: <h07vY-7fk-13@gated-
at.bofh.it> which you mention above, but the same with your X-Original-
Message-ID: <20110604232200.36c03637@karnak.local>.

The Usenet headers do not show any X-Original-References: in your message, at 
least not in my Knode.

The email headers also do not show any X-Original-References: at least in my 
Kmail.  :(

I'm not entirely sure that this rewriting is a list server action and wonder 
if it has something to do with your fetchmail setup ...

My Knode reply was via news.gmane.org, but all my other messages (inc. this) 
is to gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org.

I've done that as I'm showing above.  I've also compared the email and news 
message headers of my previous response through Knode:

Email headers:
Message-ID: <ised0l$m87$1...@dough.gmane.org>
References: <gzxpy-7qa...@gated-at.bofh.it> <h04rs-2l...@gated-at.bofh.it> 
<h04rs-2l...@gated-at.bofh.it> <h04rs-2l...@gated-at.bofh.it> 
<h04rs-2l...@gated-at.bofh.it> <h04rs-2l8...@gated-at.bofh.it> 
<h04rs-2l8...@gated-at.bofh.it> <h04rs-2l8...@gated-at.bofh.it> 
<gzxpy-7qa...@gated-at.bofh.it> <h04rr-2l...@gated-at.bofh.it> 
<h05ku-3f...@gated-at.bofh.it> <20110604232200.36c03637@karnak.local>

and News headers:

Message-ID: <ised0l$m87$1...@dough.gmane.org>
References: <gzxpy-7qa...@gated-at.bofh.it> <h04rs-2l...@gated-at.bofh.it> 
<h04rs-2l...@gated-at.bofh.it> <h04rs-2l...@gated-at.bofh.it> 
<h04rs-2l...@gated-at.bofh.it> <h04rs-2l8...@gated-at.bofh.it> 
<h04rs-2l8...@gated-at.bofh.it> <h04rs-2l8...@gated-at.bofh.it> 
<gzxpy-7qa...@gated-at.bofh.it> <h04rr-2l...@gated-at.bofh.it> 
<h05ku-3f...@gated-at.bofh.it> <20110604232200.36c03637@karnak.local>

Hope this helps somehow ...
