Guess: are you using gmail?  Each list adds its own prefix.  Which is
admittedly a bad idea but there you are, OASIS outsources this and can't
change it. Adding a footer is an even worse idea but they won't change
this either.

So if you are subscribed to multiple lists you are getting
multiple copies, which is handy if each list goes to its
own folder. However, gmail is unusual in that it deduplicates
email discarding all copies but one. There are work-arounds
with filters but the end result in any case will be that
you will get one of the copies, selected at random.
As they have different prefixes and footers added, there you go,
a mix of different prefixes in a single thread.
