My workflow, fortunately. :)

I actually tried using mutt's resend function (alt-e) with an mbox; I
checked the Message-Id and In-Reply-To headers, and they looked correct.
I've used mutt -H successfully before without breaking threads.  The
Debian mutt packages recently upgraded to the "neomutt" fork; I wonder
if something broke recently?

Thanks for letting me know; I'll investigate and try to figure out the
problem.
