Hi,

I'm still wondering why mutt behaves differently from other MUA on
this matter. Though it is possible when forwarding to manually add a
In-Reply-To header based on the forwarded Message-ID, that's more
difficult for References, and quite annoying to do manually.

RFC822 states these headers as optional, but does not indicate whether
it should relate to replies and forwards. To my understanding, both
can apply. "The contents of this field identify previous
correspondence which this message answers."
