Hi, I apologize, but I am resurrecting an old e-mail I sent to the group (see below). My attempts to workaround Outlook have not been successful so I am attempting to approach my issue in a different manner.
Please see my comments below.

I'm wondering now why Mutt is showing the subject text for each message in the thread instead of only the "first" message of the sub-thread still residing within my mbox? Is the subject repeated in the index view for each message in the thread because Mutt had to resort to non-strict threading? Is this a bug or feature? Thanks. -- Mun
