When replying to an email, gnus constructs an In-Reply-To: header that
contains the message-id of the originating email followed by a phrase of
the form:

(User's  message of "Wed, 17 Nov 2021 22:16:04 -0800")

While allowed, the addition of this parenthetical phrase has been made
obsolete as of RFC5322. I suggest removing it, or wrapping it in a
defcustom 'message-strict-rfc5322. Any preferences?

Iʼd remove it, document its removal, but have a defcustom to get it
back.

If you decide to remove it, please make that conditional on a
defcustom, so that interested users will have a way to get back old
behavior, when they need that.

Thanks.

Could it still be relevant when interacting with clients that confirm to
that rfc?

I donʼt see how: that RFC makes that phrasing obsolete, so there will
no doubt be a client that at some point interprets the header
strictly, in which you donʼt want to be outputting the old format, so
we should output the new one by default.
