Outlook can thread email messages. It isn't set to do that by default
though. And most people don't have it set that way.
Many people use back versions of Outlook because it costs money. The
version my office uses can group by subject, but can only properly
thread Usenet, not email.
Another way message threading gets messed up is folks using the digest
method of getting the list. Basically, if you are on digest and you
reply, you are breaking the thread as your digest message is it's own
Providing you take the right form of digest, this is not true.
Admittedly most users of the digest probably don't know how to use it
properly. Actually Outlook handles this better than Thunderbird,
although thunderbird still threads properly.
The digests I receive are in MIME multipart/digest format, and you can
extract the individual articles and reply to them, in which case they do
thread properly. You only get a problem if people try to reply to the
whole digest, rather than an individual message.
