I got it backwards.  The grimm MID was *appended* to the previous stuff,
exactly as it should be.

s/something/nothing

(Unimportant:  I have well understood how References headers work for a
long time, and it should not be possible to make such a mistake unless
I'm typing without thinking.  But when I typed that I really *was*
thinking, trying to be clear, and re-reading to make sure everything I
typed was correct.  When I typed and re-read that, I was *sure* the
parent must come first, prepended.  So sure that I just came very close
to asking this list why Claws was doing things wrong and why this Claws
bug wasn't causing breakage all over the place.  I now understand that
I have slipped into an alternate universe exactly the same as my own
except that one tiny bit of RFCs 2822 and 5322 is different.)
