Exactly what do you mean by "started a new message"? If you mean you
selected 'new', 'write', 'mail', 'compose' or whatever you do in your
mail client to compose a brand new message, then that message should be
sent with no References: or In-Reply-To; headers.

On the other hand, if you start with 'reply', 'reply-all', 'reply-list'
or similar, even if you subsequently remove and replace everything in
the visible message headers and body, the message you send is still a
reply and will contain whatever References: and/or In-Reply-To; headers
that your client normally includes in replies.
