I recently [pushed a fix](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/74b6fe8739d86dc2284707e8507ac732420a1b8c) that will:

- **Only** set the “`In-Reply-To`” and “`References`” headers when it’s a reply (ie. `post_number > 1`)
- Set the “`In-Reply-To`” header to the **newest** of the referenced (_either replied to or quoted_) posts
- Set the “`References`” header to **the topic** as well as **all referenced** posts (if any).

This should ensure the emails are threaded properly on any decent 📧 client 😉
