You want osa-dispatcher.

Important request: Could you please fix / change your MUA (the program
you use to read and send emails) so that it puts in proper In-Reply-To
headers to your emails? It will help people to avoid responding to you
twice since your threads would be properly shown in our MUAs. Thank
you.
