I was one of the offenders. A list member politely pointed out to me
(in private mail) the existence of the of the in-reply-to header which my
client isn’t set to use. I had no idea! I’d been diligently changing subject:
headers when I hijacked threads, but to no avail. So, apologies for my past bad
behavior and I’ll try to do better in the future.
I would encourage you though, rather than give up, just politely be
more explicit about what is needed - it was ignorance rather than laziness in
my case which was the problem.
