Dennis & David's fix injects a "References:" header which is a copy of
"In-Reply-To:".  Mutt is probably OK, now.

(Before any fixes, you understand.)


 Sample ruby-talk range 94100..97794

 From ruby-talk archive
    reject msg =~ /^X-From-Usenet:\s/
    from sample, because they're NG->ML

 From my (Giganews) archive:
    reject msg =~ /^X-Mail-Count:\s+(\d+)/
    from sample, because they appeared on NG from ML.

 Remainder are not on Giganews for ANY reason.
 Random confidence checks on Google (none found).

 Extract headers of interest.

 Publish at www.ruby-talk.org/97655 for review.

 Await protests (none).
