outlook is also not rfc compliant.  one fun thing about this is you
can make outlook say bad things about itself.  ;-)

not outlook.  that's one thing that makes this list a pain for me.
half of it comes up threaded and the other half (those messages from
outlook users) is not.  this is because outlook does not set the
threading headers like in-reply-to and references.  it is much easier
to scan through a high volume list when, as you say, you can place
all related messages together.  sadly, this doesn't happen here.

if anyone cares, my setup is to have procmail neatly file evey message
in its folder.  i then tell mutt about all the folders and have mutt
thread the messages.  i also use spamassassin to bounce spam.  i
really like my setup; however, i run on linux which with its many
tools makes this sort of thing much easier.  i've heard that cygwin
makes windows more versitile, fwiw.
