I am using Claws-Mail under Xfce on a desktop system.

However, I am polling this mailing list as a newsgroup through the
eternal-september NNTP server in Germany.  This server sometimes
modifies the Message-ID: line in the headers, so that the References:
line in my follow-up has a different message id from the one that you
are seeing in the messages to which I reply.  This happens only
sporadically, at least as I read the list -- but then it would, as the
message id's I see are the ones eternal-september likes.

Exactly why the eternal-september server changes the Message-ID: line
is not immediately obvious.  I suspect some mail and news readers
generate Message-ID's that are not RFC-compliant and eternal-september
corrects the problem, BICBW.

I'm reading it a bit late because I was doing a full system backup of my
own newsserver system (~40 gigs) with the cron jobs all stopped,
including the one that pulls messages from news.eternal-september.org.
So I was off the air for about 3½ hours today.
