With mhonarc archives, it's annoying but not hard.  I did it for this
message.

You just do 'view source' and copy-n-paste from the comment saying

<!--X-Message-Id: [🔎] 20030115013229.GO23652@zewt.org -->

to the In-Reply-To: header.  Don't forget the angle brackets.  For
completeness you can put that at the beginning of References: and then
copy-n-paste the visible References: header from the rendered page
after that.

Other mailing list archivers make it harder, but they're all crap
anyway.
