All existing references should be catenated.  Add all the collected
message-ids to them.  Since this ties previously unconnected threads
together it will make for some interesting later threading decisions.

In-Reply-To, take the first article collected.

Subject, take the subject from the first article collected.  You could
perhaps add a configurable string to it like ``, etc.'' or ``-reply'' :-).
