Netscape adds a "References:" header in a reply message.  It references the
message ID of the message that is being replied to.  

I was wondering if this was a semi-standard header? Is there is any way to
enable it in the current version of pine? Is there a reason that it is not
going to be used at some time?  (Netscape has been known to do things wrong
in the past)  etc...

I like the way Netscape will thread messages that have the references
header, but I seem to do half of my mail work in pine.

Wim.

References are (afaik) only meant to be used in Usenet news. Pine supports
them there.

There is also a References header in mail. This is meant to be used to
refer to other e-mail messages that are related to the message being sent,
but not one of its precursors. Its counterpart in news is See-Also.

The References header in news corresponds to the In-Reply-To header in mail.

Often, gateways between mail and news don't change In-Reply-To to
References, which means that the user can't read his news threaded.
