Hello Roelof,

Some confusion here I think. I don't think I made myself clear enough, sorry:
I did a search, and discovered that Microsoft have, in their infinite
wisdom, removed the Message-ID header from Outlook (a while back it seems)
supposedly due of 'security issues'. Of course that messes everything up.
So, this is my take on how this breaks threading:
1. (i) A new email with a new 'subject' is sent from an Outlook client.
(ii) Outlook does not add a message-ID: header to the email.
2. (i) In The Bat! I receive the email and reply to the Outlook message
(ii) The Bat! does not include an In-Reply-To: header because their is no
message-ID in the email being replied to, so no References either.
3. (i) The Outlook user then replies to MY reply
(ii) Outlook DOES then add an In-Reply-To: header to their email reply
4. (i) I receive their reply.
(ii) The Bat! then threads the last two emails because it can find an
In-Reply-To: reference.
5. (i) I then reply again
(ii) But this reply isn't threaded in TB! either because their is still no
originator's message-ID in the Outlook reply, so The Bat! does not
reference any of the the previous emails
And so forth, and so forth...
So, without Outlook providing and initial message-ID TB! won't thread the
messages. I can of course thread by References and subject and received time
and hope that the right messages are threaded together, but still...
