There are a bunch of really stupid mailers out there that don't know
about "References:".  How many years has it been?  I have been having
the same problems.

My temporary solution is is to copy the "Message-ID:" line from the
parent-to-be, and then insert it into the orphaned article, changed to
"References:".

This work perfectly under nnml (and I imagine, it would work under any
other scheme).

I guess the real solution would be to write some function that did this
automatically.  I am thinking about something like this:

(defun gnus-summary-adopt-parent-thread (&optional which)
  "Make current article child of the previous one.
With prefix arg, parent is that many articles previous."
  (interactive "p")
  ; ...
  )
