Well I could be wrong but do believe the MUA wll write the Xref or
References headers according to what the server has on the original
message. If the original header info exists anywhere in the message sent
by the mail2news gateway it should be possible to write a
macro to make mutt retrieve that information and rewrite the headers to 
the proper default.

I'm just a bit tired of fiddling with it right now, but maybe I'll look
into it later...
