'flac' post has 'References:' field pointing to 'musicbrainz' post. Yes, it IS 
hijacking according to RFC822/RFC2822.

Some programs do threading by 'subject', some by 'references'. The latter is 
IMHO better as it enables [re] [ot] and so on without excessive title parsing 
and doesn't thread independent messages with accidently the same title.
