That would be a very ugly workaround!  Besides, I currently have a
local mailbox, so once Outlook grabs a message, it's no longer
available on the server.

Possibly, but I like the way the list emails work.  I'm not really
interested in switching to a newsgroup model.

This is an interesting discussion, but I don't think I'm going to go
to that much trouble just to get a thread-compatible mail client for
the lists.  Considering that I've been active on several mailing lists
for a few years now and this has only been mentioned to me once or
twice before, I don't think it's a really big problem.
