It appears to be outlook getting things wrong - ie RFC blindness.

To quote from an earlier message on this subject, a fix/workround is to
make evolution thread by subject rather than just using the References
and In-Reply-To headers.  To do this

     1. shut down evolution
     2. backup ~/evolution/config.xmldb (or the whole ~evolution dir)
     3. edit ~/evolution/config.xmldb and set thread_subject to "1"

However I couldn't easily pick up the earlier thread on this which might
have more detail]
