Thanks.

Oops, sorry for the irrelevant thread inclusion. I guess emacs adds the
References header after a message is sent is sent? In my setup, the
easiest way to post to a mailing list is to reply to an existing message
(since I subscribe to each list under a different email address). I
tried to start a new thread by deleting the In-Reply-To and header which
was all I saw, but I guess the References header got inserted later...
