This is a nice script.  The very first Message(-Id:) I tried was
replied to by a message with this In-Reply-To: header:

        In-Reply-To: <7e093509.51e.14ddb300091.Coremail.chxp_moon at 163.com> (windy’s
               message of „Wed, 10 Jun 2015 09:57:45 +0800 (CST)“)

Since the script extracts Message-Id:s from In-Reply-To; headers via

> function strip_mid() {
>     sed -e 's/[<> ]//g'
> }

the Message-Id:s did not match.  I therefore changed this to

function strip_mid() {
    egrep  -a -o "<[^[:space:]<>]+@[^@[:space:]<>]+>"|sed -e 's/[<> ]//g'
}

this did the trick.


Thanx, Gregor
