I don't know how it works exactly but it looks to me that Mutt first checks for In-Reply-To: header or something similar. If it is not there, then it does some magick with Subject header to organize messages into threads. Probably some trick with "Re: " matching or so. Unless of course there are more then 1 thread with the same subject, things look nice. If there are few threads, then Outlook messages get collected in single thread. :) But it's still better then having them all over the place. -- Leonid Mamtchenkov. http://www.leonid.maks.net
