It is not always a good idea to group postings by Subject. Subject change
can easily lead to display new threads where nothing is really new. The
References header, on the other hand, is always reliable, unless omitted or
mutilated by borken excuses of newsreader software like Google Groups.

that it posts multi-part messages to a plain-text newsgroup for posting a
PGP/GnuPG signature.
