OK, thanks Todd. I'll have a browse round outlook to see how I can turn the
full header display on.
Just out of interest, is the lugnet software still supposed to be able to
correctly place messages received by email in the thread? After I'd
noticed on one occasion it didn't, I assumed it probably wasn't supposed to
because that would be such a difficult programming task anyway: If there
was no information in the email headers (though from your posting it seems
to imply there would be) then it'd be a hard job matching up text replied to
to find the position in the thread.
Thanks again for the info
