Tried that. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Let's see...

All mail from this list gets assigned the category Mailing List.  All mail
from this list, including ones I have written, about _this_ topic are
assigned the category Discussion. Any mail I send gets assigned the Personal
category. Thus all mail from the list has one category. A subset of this has
two categories and a subset of _that_ has three categories.

I create a Custom View. Three criteria: Category Is Mailing List, Category
Is Personal, Category Is Discussion. Match if any criteria are met.

The view gives me, when sorted by category, all the Mailing List messages
and then all the Discussion messages. But that last set of messages, the
Discussion ones, do not _also_ appear amidst the Mailing List set.

This is what I expected. What I'm looking for is: all appear under Mailing
List, some _also_ appear under Discussion and some others appear a third
time under Personal. All this preferably with some way to collapse and
expand the groups of categories; an analogous mechanism to View Threaded.

You could describe it as Entourage considering categories assigned as one
property rather than each category being a property in it's own right.

Another, minor, issue is that I get the idea that I would have to create
custom views for each case. Outlook will automatically add new groupings as
items with new categories appear in whichever folder I'm viewing.

None of this should be taken as a moan. As I said before it's a lovely tool
but that's all it is. Outlook has issues. You may be familiar with them. :}

Need a new computer for X. Some day.

Damn straight. You too, my friend.
