I assume you are using lore "Reply using the --to, --cc, and..." option
or something similar.

You seem to have mixed up 2 different message ID. I was not able to make
any sense of this email.

You have wrongly used [1] but you really want [2]. I think both have
very similar $subject and hence the confusion. Another reason
why getting subject right is very important on the mailing list.
