I think we saw it as just a stand-alone post.

MS Outlook is
HOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIBBBBBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYY
brain-damaged about all sorts of things. That, along with it's alter-ego
MSIE.

In this case, it sounds like they ignored the RFC's and such and threaded
on just the subject string instead of following the 'References:' header
lines.

Sounds very similar to the behavior of MSIE when it gets a HTTP transfer
with a MIME-Type, but with a "file extension" that the OS has
registered...
