It happens 90% of the time when bear replies.

That doesn't mean it's his fault.

I think I see the problem:

1. Mariusz posts via the mailing-list interface. The original Message ID is <7480573.bRnhgVsvUV@magdalene>.
2. The mailing-list interface replaces the Message ID with its own.
3. Bearophile replies via the newsgroup. His client puts the mailing list's Message ID in the References header.

Thus, when you receive Bearophile's post, the message IDs don't match, because you've received Mariusz' original Message ID via the list interface.

It's definitely not Bearophile's fault, his client's fault, and there is nothing Bearophile can do to prevent it. To fix it, ask Brad to do something about this (disable Message ID replacement? make the interface do a bidirectional Message ID mapping in both Message-ID and References headers?), or stop using the mailing list interface, which is obviously just a shoddy frontend to the NNTP server.
