All three messages did references other ones because I first wrote all them in one enormous message with cross-references in it then separated in 3 messages that did link to each other through message-id as footnode. Also I didn’t find any information about “thread stealing” anywhere on the web nor in RFC nor in mailing-lists I use beside this 2002 message on debian-user (back to a time I wasn’t subscribed to it) [1] If you inspect the In-Reply-To headers you’ll see none of these is marked as an answer to another, yet References mark them because some of them do reference the other ones. I tried to follow what I did understand the first [2] and last [3] time I did read about them, In-Reply-To and References headers were distinguished in this way. It also sometimes happen, the same way, that I happen answering several messages with one messages, in which case my message have several messages in the In-Reply-To header, but I happen to use only this one for identifying how does flow a thread, while references is much to identify what might have been missed in a discussion (as it may reference how is it meant to be placed related to a sibling or even nephew of the current thread without necessarily answer to it, so that to correctly displaying orphan siblings in a single thread).
