If you use a threaded email client (MUA), it's really easy to see it.  It was
a reply to sronan () ronan-online com's email of 10 Jan 2021 08:42:56 -0500

His MUA set the "In-Reply-To" header, and thus it was referencing the
Mesaage-ID of 474FE6A6-9AA8-47A7-82C6-860A21B0E99D () ronan-online com of the
email sronan sent.

Most modern MUA's can process threads and make it really easy to read lists.
This excludes outlook which doesn't set these headers and is basically
impossible to use on any standard mailing lists for this and other reasons.  I
use Thunderbird and mutt, both support this threaded format.
