Since I see you are also working on a tool for handling such things, I'd suspect the tool (or your workflow) has a bug. :) The message-id of this message is: <20160730191104.2ps5k7eji7aqgufg@x> but the patches have both "References" and "In-Reply-To" set to: I also see your MUA is mutt, and I think I saw you mention using "mutt -H" elsewhere. IIRC, when I started using a similar workflow years ago, I tried the same thing and had the same problem: "-H" treats the input file as a template, not a message, and thus generates a new message-id. I switched to using mutt's internal "resend-message" function, which does a more literal re-send. I don't think I ever found a way to convince mutt to do a resend from the command line. -Peff
