Hmm, isn't this like a vFolder on a particular message or sender,
including all local and remote folders as source (yes, including Sent),
setting Include Threads to "all related" and enabling threading?

Then Evo got that feature already, we just need a way more simple and
intuitive UI. :)

*sigh*

Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send. [1]

Well, maybe Evo could use this Micros~1 specific header, just for the
convenience of its users. But it should never ever use this header when
sending mails, unless it actually gets an RFC.


Besides, this got *nothing* to do with the Windows port of Evolution.
Linux users do correspond with Windows users. And there are Windows only
MUAs out there, that don't give a fuck about Outlook specific headers...
