Well, that's always true for us Deja readers. But for folks using normal
newsreaders, old and/or read messages tend to get removed after the
session is complete (even for "threaded" readers). The unquoted message
in question was pretty recent though, so that might not have been the
issue here.

But that brings us to another issue: if someone is replying to a recent
message, its quite possible that a lot of readers will get the reply
before they get the message it replies to.
