At least it's populated the Subject line >correctly. Nope. And it's not that you're doing something "wrong"; it's that the digest simply doesn't provide the message-ids for the individual messages in the digest - and I've never seen a digest format that does - AND Outlook doesn't insert the In-Reply-To: header into messages. As long as you stick with Outlook, you're going to break threads, even if you changed from digest to individual messages (I call that 'reflector'), and as long as you stick with the digest, you're going to break threads, even if you switch to one of the mail clients that other users who aren't breaking threads use. At "worst", you've made bad choices, or had them made for you, with respect to format and mail program, and I recognize that it's not always entirely within your control, and/or there may be other factors involved that I'm not aware of (and don't need to be). >Jeff wrote: > >>a RFD-breaking bad idea >What's RFD?
