+*** In-Reply-To header contains only a message id.
+The In-Reply-To header created when replying to a message now contains
+only the originating message's id, conforming to RFC5322.  The previous
+behavior included additional information about the originating message.
+The new variable 'message-header-use-obsolete-in-reply-to', nil by
+default, can be set to a non-nil value to restore the previous behavior.
