I'd be curious how you generate an "In-reply-to:" for a message for which I have not provided an "In-reply-to:" at my user agent when I sent the thing. I don't see how this can be easily resolved without implying trhreading based on receipt ordering (UTC date stamp) and subject. This gives only a single tthread per subject replied this way...
