 Subject: mutt: Fails to thread properly without an @ symbol in Message-ID field
 
 Package: mutt
 Version: 1.5.6-20040907+3
 Severity: normal
 
 If a message lacks an @ ('at') symbol in the Message-ID field, Mutt
 refuses to connect messages to it, even if they correctly specify the
 In-Reply-To header.
 
 Further, connecting a thread manually using the '&' key (link-threads)
 lasts only while that mailbox index is open.  Reopening the mailbox
 loses the linkage.
 
 Specifying a Message-ID without a domain is highly unusual, and goes
 against a 'RECOMMENDED' clause in RFC 2822, but the only 'MUST' clause
 relating to Message-ID is that it be unique.
 
 Also, some MTAs do specify a domain, but use the word "at" or some
 other text as their delimiter, and these are in full compliance even
 with the 'RECOMMENDED' clause.
 
 ----- End forwarded message -----
 
 (It's still broken with 1.5.14.)
