I have a lot of users on Outlook and I don't get this problem.
Maybe there's something unusual in the list setup?
Perhaps you might send an example of the headers to this list, (you
will have to do something about blocked words like "subscr1be" etc)
I don't find outlook too bad, as a user. I think people tend to
like what they're used to, when I joined cix.co.uk everyone used
something truly horrible called AMEOL which doesn't dial up the ppp
server but "blinks", and has conferencing which involves finding your
way through a huge complex structure full of arcane rules. It's
been sitting here on my system for about 5 years now and I never use
it, though it probably has none of the weaknesses of outlook, and
sfaia no-one has ever caught a virus from it.
I used to use a thing called winmail which used a uucp connection,
istr it was made by "Witchcraft" I loved it but it was actually
archaic even back in the mid-nineties, Outlok does a pretty decent
job, and you know it's not going to vanish suddenly and you're going
to get upgrades, and will be able to transfer your address books etc,
it has a lot of good points aside from its weaknesses, imho.
(apologies if this rambling is off-topic, btw)
