Really? I thought most people that used Gmane used it for posting
through their interface. No? I guess it is really hard to tell by
anyone outside of Gmane. But I thought that was one of the advantages
of using it. That one need not have any other connection.
Plus I know that during the recent network connection problems to the
Boston datacenter site that much mail from Gmane was backlogged unable
to transmit messages. All of those came through Gmane so there are at
least some users using it.

Yes. I have tried to determine why this is before. I don't think it
is on Emanuel's end. It appears with other posters too. Emanual is
just one of the more prolific posters and so we see it more often with
his posts. :-)
Plus when the messages do thread they thread to the parent of the
message and not the message being responded to. And of course the
unusual software in the path is Gnus, News, the news2mail gateway, any
of the three of which could be causing problems. I think it is the
Stanford newsgroup gateway causing the problem.
Details follow for those who want to skip now.

There is no In-Reply-To on the follow-up. Only the References header
can be used for threading. Checking through the references in the
place of my message 20160603195221435910074@bob.proulx.com I see
mailman.789.1465006376.1216.help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org instead. That
appears to be the point where threading gets broken. Something
appears to have converted one message id into another one.
But this isn't only Emanuel. Here is another example of the same
which has neither Emanuel nor myself in the conversation.

Same thing. The missing message-id has been replaced with a
non-matching one.
In these messages I see two things in common. One is that both came
through the news gateway. Another is that both users posted using
Gnus. Can we find an example that is broken that only uses one of
them to eliminate the other as a problem? At this moment I suspect
the gateway. But that is always my suspicion bias since it is outside
of our control.
Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen has several in this thread. But my mail was
in there too and I am looking for something without.

Again Gnus and News. Can't tell.
Ah! Here is one. Another example of a broken mail link.

User-Agent: G2/1.0
What User-Agent is represented by "G2/1.0"? Since that isn't Gnus it
would seem to let Gnus off the hook. The commonality is the Stanford
news gateway. The converted message id is of the same form. Looks to
be the same problem. Does not include Gnus so seems to implicate the
Stanford newsgroup gateway.
