As a long-time Pine user (check the headers) I must confess that I have
been occasionally guilty of the same offense.
The problem is that, although Pine manages to set the in-reply-to:
headers, etc. it does not give the user an opportunity to edit them - even
if you turn on full header mode.
If there's a way to get at that particular header, please, let me know.
Which means that the uses is responsible for adding the mailing list to
his address book, remembering the list address (heh), or... screwing up
the threads.

That's part of it (both of them).
