Things look normal from here; e.g., the above is threaded as a child of
Sorkin's mail, and it has the appropriate

In-Reply-To: <4B159317020000CB00056E09 at medicine.umaryland.edu>

header.

I.e., I suspect that your own mail client may be doing you in. (Some
mail clients, like Thunderbird, will even thread on the text of the
Subject field,  which can be a bit of a pain when people choose
unoriginal subjects like "Question".)
