Hi Scott,
thanks for the explanation!

Ah, that sounds very reasonable and explains a lot.
I always tested on my local host. Just did a test on the mailserver and
whoopie spamassassin doesn't complain about the dialup there. Great!

Yep, sorry, typo.

No, what I meant is that the in-reply-to header is missing. For example
look at the thread "RE: Mr Wiggly has changed". I think the problem is
Outlook Express because I see a lot of
X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19)
and am wondering why in the world spam/security-aware people would be using
MS LookOut? ;-)
Thanks,
Andy.
