When mutt sends a post to the mailing list, does it add the 'in-reply-to' or is it added by the mailing list? I am a bit confused here. How can the mailing list know what is the 'in-reply-to'?
Thanks.

Both message-ID and the in-reply-to are are added by the MUA itself ( i saw the message-id to be of the form (122.qmail), and so naturally thought it was added by the MTA, but i don't think that is logically feasible. i will have to check the source code of mutt and figure it out.
Anyway, there is some small bug in the fudforum mail sending code. When a message is modified, someow the 'reply_to' is lost, and neither will fudforum add a in-reply-to when it sends out further mails, nor will it recognize mails that have been replied to this.
I have checked the code and saw 'if ($reply_to) in many places, so i will have to do a bit more searching to understand what's happening
Could ilia please help me out here.
Thanks a lot.

The in-reply-to or references headers are added by MUA, although some MUA sometimes forget to add them.
