No, it should have a MiID, but some users deliberately set their mail
client or server to remove the  from their message. They obviously
don't care about RFCs, nor do they care about proper threading and
such.

We've seen proper list contributions here without MID, as a
consequence the replies didn't thread. When there's a MID lacking, it
should be inserted by a receiving mail server, however not all servers
do that (and when they do all of them give the same message different
MIDs)
