Outlook 2003 :: Conversation View

[Chris Miller]

Is there a way to tell Outlook that 2 conversations are actually one
conversation? i.e. -- if in the middle of a converstaion with 50 e-mails,
someone renames the subject to something else, I still want to be able to
view the whole thing as one conversation even though the subject lines are
different.

not really - outlook mostly uses the subject line for email conversations
and you can't control it. It handles conversations much better than previous
versions, but there is still room for improvement.

Opps, I posted that question 2 times. Oh well, sorry...

I was afriad of that, though.

How about this: How can I have a view that shows converstaions that have
messages receieved in the last 7 days. However, if a conversation has
messages from the last 7 days, I want it show all messages. So let's say
I've got a converstaion with 2 messages, both received 10 days ago. I
shouldn't see that conversation. However, let's say I recieve an e-mail in
that converstaion today, I want to see all messages related to the
conversation, including those older then 7 days. Did that make sence?

Why in 98 version Outlook had no problems with your selecting the email and moving it to another "group." In Outlook 2003 it won't let you move it. WHY???
