That's not really his fault. Thunderbird does it wrong. RFC 1036:
"2.2.5. References - This field lists the Message-ID's of any messages
prompting the submission of this message. It is required for all
follow-up messages, and forbidden when a new subject is raised."
Of course, threading has been messed up from day one. Not all MUAs
support the desired headers, and many get it wrong. Instead of
complaining when threading breaks, people should be thankful when it
works. That's just the nature of the beast.
