Apologies. I don't own the machine I normally post from, and I don't have admin privileges so I can't install anything (such as "a real news client") on it, so it's GG for me.

Not everyone's posts from GG muck up threads, are there two versions?

I posted this one by selecting "Reply" on the old version.

I posted this one by selecting the "Reply" link at the top of the
message, rather than the bottom, in the old version of GG. In the
past, the two different "Reply" links sometimes worked differently.

Yes. Google Groups recently introduced a new interface; the old one
is still supported (and it's still possible to switch back to it).
The new interface makes it easier to post without including quoted
content, and it fails to add "References" header lines.

Switched back to the old one. Hopefully I won't muck up threading
anymore.

Jeez, it's not like NNTP's *that* complex a protocol...
