3.2.1  References

   The References header is the same as that specified in Section 3.6.4
   of [RFC2822] with the added restrictions detailed in Section 2.2 and
   those listed below:

   o  The updated <msg-id> construct defined in Section 3.1.4 MUST be
      used.
   o  Message IDs MUST be separated with CFWS.
   o  Comments in CFWS between Message IDs can cause interoperability
      problems, so comments SHOULD NOT be generated, but MUST be
      accepted.

-   The References-header is an inheritable header (see 4.2.5.2) which
-   lists CFWS-separated message identifiers of the article's precursors,
-   as described in 8.6.  The content syntax makes use of syntax defined
-   in [RFC 2822] (but see the revised definition of msg-id in section
-   2.4.3).
