Before: In-Reply-To: "Curtis V. Canada"'s message of "Thu, 30 Nov 2000 07:33:41 -0700" After: In-Reply-To: <4.1.20010116094901.009c8ab0@cic-mail> This in itself is fine, except that combined with the limited information in Gnus' citation line, now there is no easy way to tell when the message that is being replied to was composed. Is it a few days old, a few months, years? For example: "Stephen W. Hodson" writes: In-Reply-To: <4.1.20010116094901.009c8ab0@cic-mail> I suggest a couple of solutions: - For "In-Reply-To", combine the message-id with the date of the message being replied to like T-gnus does: i.e, In-Reply-To: (Mike Fabian's message of "Sat, 12 Aug 2000 12:52:21 +0200") - Or, leave In-Reply-To as it is and modify the default citation line in `message-insert-citation-line' to include the date info: i.e, On 29 Oct 2000, Jason R.
