Full ack! It's really a pain to follow this list: most of the threads are broken, and lot's of the answers are not quoted. I'm not a friend of flamewar'ing against Microsoft users, but if I look at the headers of a mail which does not appear in the thread list in my MUA and broke the thread, it's always something like 'Microsoft Internet Messaging Service', 'Microsoft Exchange', 'Outlook' or whatever their products are named... annoying!!
