It appears that your X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.4.3 client stripped them
out and didn't add a new one.
Other messages in this discussion have headers like:
In-Reply-To: <
20030926152728.GA62640@megconsult.com>
References: <

In-Reply-To: <
200309261119.51951.ed@flat5.net>
And this email will add the header:
In-Reply-To: <
1064604187.4459.19.camel@localhost.localdomain>
These are used by various email clients (and mail archives) to help keep a
thread in order (or related).
