I don't have any data to support this claim. But I suspect using the Reply 
button, then also using "Delete quoted text" would *still* add "References:" 
entries to the header, allowing Gmail to track "conversations" and normal email 
clients to track threads. FWIW, here's your References entry for the post 
quoted below:

References: <cah5jek0n2bjoqm1wudk42yc9oavgho5grtc5afr+wn1+_tf...@mail.gmail.com>

If you "View Source" or "Show Original" on Jon's posts, there are no such 
entries. Also, I think "Delete quoted text" is a feature on an obsolete version 
of Gmail's web client, though I could easily be wrong about that since I don't 
use it.
