They don't follow references rules of RFC 2822

What part of that RFC is outlook breaking? The headers and header fields?
Line lengths? Date format?

Oh, and which version of Outlook is doing whatever it's doing?

BTW -they aren't rule's only suggestions.

They break the "reference" field.
If you see any linux mailer, you'll see you can see threads organized like
trees. You know each mail is a response to which other mail on the thread.

In outlook (2003) the threads are flat, not indented. You don see who
replied to whom.
In addition outlook does not copy the "references" field from the incoming
and adds the message id of the message it replies to - that is breaking the
threaded view for other mailers that do use this feature.

You're right, they're only recommendations, MS is used to being hated, so
they don't care about the rest. That's a certain way to perpetuate a
situation.

BTW, the outlook 2003 also fails to not wrap text lines, just ignoring the
checkbox, the registry and evrything else. Some people call this a bug. And
yes, I tried everything in the knowledge base .
