OK, here is an experiment. The Message-ID of your mail was
<01KF8JCEOCBS0045PS(_at_)mauve(_dot_)mrochek(_dot_)com>. I have made the
References line in
this message to be <"01KF8JCE\OCBS0045PS"@mauve.mrochek.com>.
Hands up anybody with a threading mail reader that threaded my reply as a
followup to yours (and hands down if it didn't).
CrossPoint didn't unquote (no surprise here), but Perl
Mail::Address->parse didn't normalize it, either.
So it looks like implementation of this "feature" is pretty patchy.
In the Usefor draft, I have now excluded all un-normalized message-ids
syntactically (compliant software simply must not create them - not that I
suppose anyone short of Hipcrime would want to try). So that is how it
will be unless the folks on the Usefor list decide otherwise.
