Thanks for continuing to look into this!

The test is close to what I have -- the only difference in my case is 
that the Message-ID and References: fields match in the duplicate mail 
files, but just the In-reply-to headers differ (the gmane one has a 
meaningless/incorrect, re-written header).

Interestingly though, I re-checked the thread I had the original problem 
with and notmuch seems to be able to cope with it better now. So, some 
other changes seem to have helped with my original problem. I will keep 
an eye out to see if any other threads cause problems (I do occasionally 
see astroid crash, but I haven't seen if it is due to this issue with 
notmuch or a different problem).
