	It is not physically possible to solve this problem from within 
Mailman.  If the client doesn't put that header in to begin with, 
there is no amount of artificial intelligence you could add to the 
program that could determine with 100% certainty as to precisely 
which message is actually being replied to and which other messages 
are being referenced.

	You could spend a trillion dollars on this problem and not find a 
solution.  The entire computer industry has been working on AI since 
the early 1960s, and they haven't solve it yet, and don't appear to 
be much closer today than they were back then.
