Additionally, the References header is good for at most one level in.
Can you see, by looking at my post here, who Alister is quoting? Yes,
easily, because his attribution line is part of the text that I've
quoted. Can you see who Wolfgang is quoting? No, because there's no
attribution line. It's completely impractical to dig through the
References header (Alister's post has nineteen message IDs in
References, and presumably mine will add a twentieth) to find out who
quoted whom three levels ago.
