This only happens when edit_hdrs is set.  Since there aren't going to
be any more "official" patches to 6.5, here's an unofficial description
of the fix.  Sorry, I don't have correct line numbers for this at the
moment (all my 6.5 sources are archived), so I can't make a real diff.

In mail.c, function add_headers(), look for something like

	if (for_editor || isoff(flags, EDIT_HDRS)) {
#ifdef PICKY_MAILER
	    if (i > 0)
#endif /* PICKY_MAILER */
	    (void) fprintf(files[i], "%sDate: %s\n",
		ison(flags, FORWARD) ? "Resent-" : "", rfc_date(date_str));
	    got_date = TRUE;
	}
	if (*in_reply_to)
	    fprintf(files[i], "In-Reply-To: %s\n", in_reply_to);

The fix is to move the "if (*in_reply_to)" clause inside the curly
brace immediately above it.

} While I'm here - I wish there was the ability to tell mush to *always*
} page, no matter what the length is.

Yes, that may eventually appear.
