Yes, I am using Outlook 2003 and it has these capabilities for sure. In fact I have set it up to stuff away the messages, but there are just too many of them anyway. And there is no real overview available like what one gets with a newsreader like Agent. Threaded by topic and indented by sequence, try doing tha with Outlook... I have used this mail client (or its predecessors) since about 1997 or so and I have a lot of messages saved that are work related. But I do not want to expand it into being a repository for the mail lists too when we have news mirrors like GMANE available. Finally, the problems are coming from a misconfiguration on the GMANE server itself as was discovered by Vincent Snijders, so I hope that the GMANE maintainer will fix the problem after he has read my report to him.
