Did he also complain to Microsoft (who is the real culprit)?
If many customers complain to Microsoft, then perhaps Microsoft
will change. But if other MUA's start to implement their
non-standard and useless features, this will never happen.

IMHO, Mutt should not be bloated with Thread-Index support. For
those who really want this feature, a 3rd-party patch could be
written and maintained by these users.

Also, make sure that Thread-Index isn't covered by some Microsoft
patent.
