Nope. Haven't seen it.

Until Gmail presents a sane interface for mailing lists, I use "Reply
to all", remove the "To:" address, and move the "Cc:" to debian-user
to "To:". It's a bit of a pain, but it works. Threading basically
works, as long as the subject doesn't change. Hopefully one of the
threading improvements they claim to be working on will look at actual
"In-Reply-To" headers.
