Please do. Microsoft may not fix bugs in their products because
it is the right thing to do, but it is rumoured they do listen if
enough customers complain.

Or vote with your feet and just stop using a Microsoft email
solution. Sure, it might be convenient for you, but it is
inconvenient for a much larger number of people on this list.

No product handles this automatically because there is no way to
handle it automatically. You can guess a little bit based on the
subject, but that will inevitably fail when people change the
subject or use the same subject for a different thread.
(Particular common with subjects like 'help' or 'urgent problem'.)

Or can you describe an algorithm that will thread correctly
without a References or In-Reply-To header?
