You completely got my posting wrong. I just hate Exchange. And I had a
little off-list conversation with the list member I meant, and no, I do
not blame him personally for using this crap. As it stands, he, and most
other Exchange victims are victims of their company. He has no way to
change the behaviour of what he is forced to use. It is just that the
combination of Outlook and Exchange(5.5) silently drops any References-
or In-Reply-To headers => threading information gone :(

Hear, hear!

True, but IMHO M$ software comes with bad and insecure settings per
default and therefore most MS users just use it as it comes - which is a
reasonable approach. So the problem is back to Microsoft.

Ok, let's stop it.
