Starting Jun 8th, I've noticed problems using Outlook Express (OE)
such as incomplete downloading of posts from comp.lang.ruby and
lock-ups requiring <Ctrl+Alt+Del End Task> from the Find Messages
dialog.
This coincides with recent changes to some posts which contain
self-references in their headers and a possible incompatibility
between these messages and OE's '.dbx' database file format.
Can anyone confirm ?
If you don't want to post here, my e-mail is valid ...
(Reply to Sender) and I'll report the problem.
same here (using OE 6.00.2800). Although I don't need to reboot: Win 2k's
TaskManager can take care of that.
Although the MS implementation seems to have problems with the graph
traversal with loops (i.e. endless looping) I regard inserting a self
reference in a posting no good style either. Maybe we can generate some
fictuous message id as reference or - even better - insert the real thing.

How amusing that the workaround for messages posted from Outlook
causes OE to have fits.
Is there really no way to get Outlook to put In-Reply-To OR
References in mail messages? I mean, I thought it was bad, but
I'm becoming more convinced every day!
I've been pushing OE quite a lot in recent weeks and couldn't be certain

With great distress, I had to delete (Ctrl+D) these six messages
(adjust hours for local time zone):

Set a weekend aside and rewrite them all for us, eh ?

Well, I'm always wearing it, actually
Here are some other MUAs that just can't get their headers together:
Ah, I'm glad that my MUA doesn't suck like as much as all the
rest you've listed below! But, could you be more specific? I
just tested mutt, and it does include an In-Reply-To header when
replying. I'm just curious how you built your list.

I didn't see it in your headers

Dennis & David's fix injects a "References:" header which is a copy of
"In-Reply-To:". Mutt is probably OK, now.

I guess I was surprised that Outlook didn't add either of these
headers, when so many other MUAs do. It's been a constant
annoyance, since it always breaks threading -- sure I can thread
by subject, but that doesn't keep the correct tree structure of
the message thread. (not to mention, it breaks the
"refer-parent-article" feature of my MUA, which automatically
finds the parent of the article I'm reading). I've been used to
using this for a couple years now, but I guess most of the lists
I'm on mostly consist of Mutt and Gnus users.
Granted, I think this usenet gateway is being a little too
strict, which is unfortunate.
[snip explanation]
Thanks! I still think including a useful I-R-T header would be
a helpful and nice thing to do. Obviously, this isn't an
option. I guess relaxing the restrictions on the nntp server
are also not an option?
