I'm not certain that it does. I looked at a web page for Alpine
http://alpine.x10host.com/alpine/alpine-info/misc/headers.html
(I don't know what version nor whether it's authoritative),
and read:

   "Note that there are some headers that you can not edit, nor you
   should add to the list of Customized Headers. The list of headers
   that can not be edited within Alpine is the following: Message-Id,	[sic]
   In-Reply-To, References, Date, […]

I can understand Message-ID and Date as they're unknown when composing
the message, but I sometimes add/edit the In-Reply-To when I come late
to a thread and have already deleted the post I want to respond to.
I just grab the Message-id [sic] from the web archive.

So unless you've got some method of inserting an email with the
appropriate Message-ID into a mailbox and then pointing Alpine at it,
it might be tricky to send a post with the appropriate value when
you not subscribed to the list.

Did bw unsubscribe from the list between 2018-10-19 and 2019-03-31,
which is when In-Reply-To went AWOL in posts I have still have access to.

Why "snobs"? Until I inherited this laptop, I never had the hardware
to be able to run a DE like Gnome, so mutt/emacs/fvwm were sensible
choices. Having used them now for over 20 years, I see little point
in changing. I'm not bothered whether anyone switches to them, though
I guess just saying here that you use them carries that implication
for some people.

I think *this* laptop could run a DE and VMs and so on. But there has
to be some incentive to add complexity. Put them in the queue, behind
learning IPv6 and other things that people say I ought to know about.

Cheers,
David.
