This is a function of the mail reader client.  I use Kmail and this
list is in a separate directory from others and I set the "Message
Aggregation Mode" for that folder to "Perfect, by References and by
Subject".  This makes it /appear/ that AP's messages are threading
properly.  But it's an illusion.  They are threaded by Subject and by
date/time.  I see his replies to one poster under another because of
this.

Without the proper headers, correct threading is impossible.  My
client approximates it.

Your client is doing the same thing -- approximating threading.

As to why this guy among all the others here is posting broken
messages, I am betting g is correct.
