Svend,

sorry for the delay in responding.  See this document for a quick
background:

http://www.jwz.org/doc/threading.html

so In-Reply-To headers are not nearly as structured as the References
headers (contrary to what I had assumed).  You may be finding a
particular exception, so if you could send me the contents of your
registry and the particular message that's not being followed, I can
find what's not working.

Thanks
Ted
