[mso] Fixing the MSO sorting issue!

Okay...so once before I explained how you can sort posts by setting up a
custom view and setting the group by subject. That worked in all groups,
except for this one, due to the way the group title [mso] is inserted within
the subject and around the RE:...causing the original Q to stand out from
all the replies to it.

But it appears I found a solution (again<g>). Rather than setting the group
to SUBJECT...set it to CONVERSATION! This appears to keep ALL subject
together...even the wacky ones from this group!<ducking from Linda!>

I THINK this option is available in all (most) previous versions of Outlook.
I'm using 2003...but believe it was around before. 

Click on the folder with your support posts (or you inbox...whichever you
need to sort). Click View > Arrange by (or whatever your version says that's
similar) > Custom and set GROUP BY to CONVERSATION. I tried it and now the
Qs are grouped with all the RE: replies.

Hope this helps...
