Yes. Looks totally normal.

I did, creating the sub-thread "Re: test, Was: mplayer won't play m4a".
Same as with your attempt: no problems. And Rodolfo can reply to our
follow-up mails in the thread.
It is not yet proven whether the strange In-Reply-To: header content
is to blame. But i see it in my Cc: of the failed attempt of Rodolfo
to follow-up to Andrei POPESCU's mail with id
20190826190505.zldub4tzker6am7d@localhost.
The successful attempts to our recent mails don't have this header.
Rodolfo's mails have
User-Agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/26.1 (gnu/linux)
So maybe this is a reason to ask bugs@gnus.org if it still exists.
Or to study
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/gnus
where a search for "In-Reply-To" finds
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/lisp/gnus?id=fa98585ca3779749f7acadf5eaa321c03f7b0b8e
which leads me to
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/gnus/message.el#n5618
(defun message-make-in-reply-to ()
...
"'s message of \""
(if (or (not date) (string= date ""))
...
This is obviously the text snippet that is attached to Rodolfo's
In-Reply-To: <20190826190505.zldub4tzker6am7d@localhost> (Andrei POPESCU's
message of "Mon, 26 Aug 2019 22:05:05 +0300")
But i am too old to learn digesting Lisp poems.
(Either you learn it until you are 30 - or never.)
So i cannot tell why and when this function is called and a In-Reply-To
header gets added.
Have a nice day :)
