It doesn't work in that case either if you're CCed and you get the
direct copy before the list copy; that one won't have the header.
In my case I just deduplicate with formail/reformail and it simply
throws the second one away, and I suspect others do likewise. I don't
know what does Gmail do.

Hmm, sometimes I refer to an intermediate message in a thread, not
necessarily the first, when something was discovered in the middle of
some discussion.
