OK, I should have left "field", and just said Message-ID :-) I wonder what the "References:" field is intended for though. It seems to record all previous messages in the thread?
That's how it looks to me. I haven't looked it up, though.

I haven't used the newer versions, but I wasn't too impressed with the 3.1/3.2 versions,
I'm not sure which versions you're referring to. The current (or near current) version is 1.9.1, but I agree a few years ago it was rather meager. Now it's great.
