Perhaps YOU should read the manual.  This isn't what the -S option does.  It
causes article search to scan forward for an article with the same
*subject*.  If the followup arrives before the article to which it is a
response, you will get them in reverse order.

Unfortunately, about a third of the replys I see have no "References:" line,
which means that it is impossible to link them up properly anyway.
