That's why you should not have told your mail program that it is a reply
to

From: "Phil Holmes" <address@hidden>
Subject: Re: Code examples in docs
Newsgroups: gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.devel
To: <address@hidden>, "Urs Liska" <address@hidden>
Date: Sat, 9 Apr 2016 14:27:10 +0100 (4 days, 6 hours, 47 minutes ago)

because then your mail program inserts a header like

References: <address@hidden>
        <address@hidden>
        <address@hidden>
        <address@hidden> <address@hidden>
        <address@hidden>
        <address@hidden>
        <address@hidden>

referring to all previous messages in the thread.  And if you take a
look at archives like

<URL:http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.devel/63908/focus=63971>
you'll see that this is _exactly_ what all software will interpret your
mail as.
