Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.6-20040907+3
Severity: normal

If a message lacks an @ ('at') symbol in the Message-ID field, Mutt
refuses to connect messages to it, even if they correctly specify the
In-Reply-To header.

Further, connecting a thread manually using the '&' key (link-threads)
lasts only while that mailbox index is open.  Reopening the mailbox
loses the linkage.

Specifying a Message-ID without a domain is highly unusual, and goes
against a 'RECOMMENDED' clause in RFC 2822, but the only 'MUST' clause
relating to Message-ID is that it be unique.

Also, some MTAs do specify a domain, but use the word "at" or some
other text as their delimiter, and these are in full compliance even
with the 'RECOMMENDED' clause.
