We're using Papercut as the NNTP gateway to Phorum and are in the 
process of rewriting a sizeable portion of it to support our upgrade to 
Phorum 5. This is a known issue and should be fixed early this week. If 
you are using the Phorum interface, you will see appropriate threading.

Cool.  I hadn't even looked at the threading aspect of it (yet), I just 
noticed the missing Date header.

Any thoughts as to whether or not it will be fixed retroactively or will 
the fix only apply to new posts?

Out of curiosity, are any of the tools open source and/or freely 
available (And yes, I could Google it... I'm lazy, plus I don't have 
internet access as I write this) -- I could use some new toys to play 
with :)
