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...
