Well, that's probably your problem anyway, because other than the out- 
of-order messages (which, as LilWolf mentioned, are caused by the  
sender's clock being set wrong), and the occasional user with  
misconfigured client settings creating new threads inadvertently, I  
have no problems with threading.

You can run Thunderbird on Windows; a lot of people do (I do, when I  
use Windows).  Check it out at www.mozilla.com--it's completely free.

Oh, and it doesn't have all the really nasty security holes that  
(*shudder*) Outlook Express has. ;-)

salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we

haven't got through college yet.'"
