The problem is with Mailman, which is used to provide access to 
the newsgroups in the form of a mailing list. Mailman rewrites 
message IDs, so a mailing list user replying to a mailing list 
user will break threading.

Sidenote: your client does not support format=flowed, which 
causes text quoted from your posts to appear jagged.
