Heya, thanks for your report.  The only reasonable explanation I can
think of is that you hit <F9> while being on a mail that does not
contain a Message-Id header, which is uncommon.

Do you still have the mail in question? Can you verify if it is the case
or not?

If that's the case, I'd agree that the error message could be better,
but without a message-id there won't be much that can be done to rebuild
a thread in any reliable way. (One possibility might be falling back to
subject-based thread reconstruction, but I'd rather not do that.)

Cheers.
