There's a significant improvement that could be made on this situation:
sometimes, there's a message with References: that go back all the way
to a message thta you have, and another message that refers to some
other reference on that list of references between two existing
messages. I know how to fix this, but it will take some work (and will
require not getting distracted by the desire to ream out all the other
filth that has accrued in thread.c over my long absence.) However, I
have some time now to work on this, and plan to do so soon (though I'll
be moving in the next week, so that will dilute my attention a bit.)
