AIUI that line is merely a placeholder. If a posting has a line
like In-Reply-To: <foo> and the list doesn't already have a
matching Message-ID: <foo> then it threads the posting to the
placeholder rather than threading it to any old message or
starting a new thread.

So the question is why your Message-ID: <address@hidden>
didn't arrive on the list. Perhaps the spam scan produced a false
positive. Has this started happening within the past year? I notice
that your postings are submitted slightly differently from
previously. Unfortunately the partial scorings aren't revealed in
the headers on this list.

Cheers,
David.
