email-threading

This is a little bit like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/288757/how-to-identify-email-belongs-to-existing-thread-or-conversation but I am more interested in how Entourage 2008 really does threading as opposed to how it ought to.

I have the parent message that has something like

Message-ID: <[email protected]/>

then some replies that have (in addition to their own Message-ID)

In-Reply-To: <[email protected]/>

However, these show up as two conversations! The first conversation consists solely of the parent message, and the second conversation consists of the other replies.

Would adding a References: header (as described in RFC 2822) resolve this?
