This is now implemented on mail.python.org for python-list@python.org
and the others that gateway to Usenet.
I hope this will mitigate at least some of the threading issues.
As noted earlier in this thread, the original Message-ID: is appended,
not prepended to References:. More specifically, if there is a
References: header, the original Message-ID: is appended. If not, one is
created with the In-Reply-To: value if any and the original Message-ID:.
