I think I've solved the problem with the References header with this change 
in mlist-backend (line 104):
       #$headvalue{'references'}= "References: ". join(' ',@refs). "\n";
        $headvalue{'references'}= "References: ". join("\n\t ",@refs). "\n";

I'll see if I can trace the other issues in a similar way, though this 
should hopefully take care of the majority of failures.

Thanks for these pointers. I'll take a look.

I originally tried using a regular news server with the linux-kernel mailing 
list (lkml), but the problem was that some headers were mangled which made 
replying to the list while preserving threading problematic. My setup is 
mainly for following lkml. I added some Debian lists as a kind of bonus 
without checking if they were available elsewhere. It also gives me more 
control over article expiration and such.

Thanks again for your help.

Cheers,
FJP
