Normally I would diagnose this as the sender hitting "Reply" to an
existing email, but Bill assures us that he doesn't do that.
The signs do appear to show that when Bill sends a fresh email,
something in the chain:
Bill's mail client
--> sending mail server (his ISP?)
--> any intermediate systems
--> mailing list
--> any intermediate systems
--> my mail server
--> my mail client
is messing up the References and In-Reply-To header. I'm confident it is
not either my mail server or client, and I would be shocked if it were
the mailing list or the ISP.
