All responses that appear as new threads in my TB (ie, threads whose 
title starts with "Re: ") and for which I have looked at the message 
source, have user agent:
   User-Agent: Web-News v.1.6.3 (by Terence Yim)
and no references field. These messages are common with some posters, 
like berophile, Sean Kelly, Kagamin,etc..
But some Web-News messages do have a references field though, so it's 
not all Web-News messages that are missing it.
