+Presently, the code which finds the parent of a message as it is being\r
+added to the database assumes that the first Message-ID-like substring\r
+of the In-Reply-To header is the parent Message ID. Some mail clients,\r
+however, put stuff other than the Message-ID of the parent in the\r
+In-Reply-To header, such as the email address of the sender of the\r
+parent. This can fool notmuch.\r
+\r
+The updated algorithm prefers the last Message ID in the References\r
+header. The References header lists messages oldest-first, so the last\r
+Message ID is the parent (RFC2822, p. 24). The References header is\r
+also less likely to be in a non-standard\r
+syntax (http://cr.yp.to/immhf/thread.html,\r
+http://www.jwz.org/doc/threading.html). In case the References header\r
+is not to be found, fall back to the old behavior.\r
+\r
+V2 of this patch, incorporating feedback from Jani and (indirectly)\r
+Austin.\r
