All real mail clients have a Message-Id. (If a bogus mail client doesn't
add that header, a real mail trannsfer agent will add it.)

The In-Reply-To header is just based on the Message-Id from the email
being replied to.

By the way, your mutt email client did this:

 References: <>
     <>
 In-Reply-To:
     <>


(I know what it was by looking at the headers of my email in progress.)
