From bug 11 forward, that's fixed.  It's something I knew was broken but 
decided to defer fixing and go ahead and get the word out.  The problem 
was that mailman was replacing the message-id's bugzilla was inserting.  I 
hacked up bugzilla to post directly to the news group (which will get 
picked up by mailman and forwarded on to the subscribers to the list).  
That keeps the message-id in tact and all future bugzilla based emails 
contain a proper references field already, as you've shown above.

Good idea, way ahead of ya. :)

Later,
