Unfortunately those exact files contain info which I
can't share. I have been fighting for quite a long
time to edit them in a way which removes that info
from body and headers but I could not find a way to do
it without introducing new issues.

The case is that the parent message has no Message-Id.
That seems to affect all next messages putting them
into "vertical" structure (impossible to make them
look "nested/parented" - whatever the right term is).

That would be great.

It doesn't work. After running it on a bunch of
messages I see those headers remain. I tested removing
the headers using sed in bash:

sed -i 's/^In-Reply-To:.*//ig' *
sed -i 's/^References:.*//ig' *

which restores the flat structure but creates too
many new lines. I couldn't find a way to capture the
trailing '\n' in the regex pattern.
