The conversation-following code in TMNN relies on the References line. So
these losing sites are making life harder for everybody using it. *Please*,
people, get up to date! Join my beta list or get a recent 2.11 or *something*.

Not passing References headers is anti-social. As TMNN becomes more widespread
(and particularly as the hypertext features get folded in) it will become much
more so. This is especially true for the big gateway sites -- ucbvax, are you
listening?
