Discussed several times, in particular, https://lists.exim.org/lurker/thread/20190416.032757.fefb1cbb.en.html#i20190416.032757.fefb1cbb > A useful > suggestion was of a Usenet practice of retaining the first element > and the last couple, on the assumption that later ones are appended > as the list grows. In my practice there were many examples where Outlook 10+ generates binary garbage inside References: header. I suspect these incidents reflect memory corruptions (due to bugs in some Outlook versions), rather then problems in logical formatting. I can't recall similar corruptins with Thread-Index, but it's better to check for them. -- Eugene Berdnikov -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
