Here's an example:

I don't have the article this was replying to, so I don't know if the
culprit is "Novell Groupwise 4.1" or some other broken mailer.

BTW, the `owl-list' was the place I saw, in great variety and volume,

track on virtually all threads (did I get that right?  Gnus' thread
detection rules missed a large fraction of the articles.  Better :-)
