The intent of these macros is just to make these lists a little easier to
work with for Outlook users.  Spell checking technical data would create
more problems than it would solve.

As you've discovered, this can't be done by conventional means.  I can
probably do this for Outlook 2003 (ConversationTopic and ConversationIndex
were broken in prior Outlook releases) but it would take some "real" code,
beyond what I'm prepared to do in freeware which only takes a couple
minutes to maintain once in a while.  If I can get a couple people to
"sponsor" about 3 hours of effort then I should be able to get the
Conversations to thread properly.
