Not completely. Look:

Re: mail headers (was:

The mail in question is marked with "*" as an answer to mail number 4447, 
whereas it is in fact an answer to 4448 from Sandy. The thread may be 
correctly identified, but the exact parent email is not, and this happens 
because the In-Reply-To header is incorrect.

For the same reason, the email 4452 is shown as a reply to 4449, whereas 
it is a reply to 4450.

It may be not your fault, but nevertheless, it is not correct. :-)
