Threading is foobared?

[Steven D'Aprano]

Am I the only one who has noticed that threading of posts here is severely
broken? It's always been the case that there have been a few posts here and
there that break threading, but now it seems to be much more common.

For instance, I see Jerry Martens' post "help with program". According to my
newsreader, KNode, there are no replies to that thread. But I see a reply
from Chris A. Chris' reply has a header line:

In-Reply-To: <1392737302.749065.1459024715818.JavaMail.yahoo at mail.yahoo.com>

but Jerry's original has:

References:
<1392737302.749065.1459024715818.JavaMail.yahoo.ref at mail.yahoo.com>

Notice the difference? Here the two values lined up:

<1392737302.749065.1459024715818.JavaMail.yahoo.ref at mail.yahoo.com>
<1392737302.749065.1459024715818.JavaMail.yahoo at mail.yahoo.com>
