I use a macro to do just this. except for the extra 'fixed' header, but
you should be able to add that one easily. All the tricks are in formail
and the fairly new <edit> command, which lets you edit the raw message.
Not sure what version is needed though.. at least 1.2.something?
Using your example I would tag msg#123, move to msg#100, hit ",T" to
fix the threading, and just reopen the mailbox to have it shown.
