April, If you attach to your Outlook email file from Access you will see two fields for Subject. Subject and Normalized Subject. Normalized Subject has removed the RE: and FWD: for you on all of them. You should be able to find that to sort by. If you open your Customize Current View folder, you can select Subject to sort by and sort order will be Normalized Subject by default.

I belong to several list groups and would like to be able to group messages by subject line... the problem is as I'm sure you know "[mso] Outlook Question" and "re: [mso] Outlook question" ends up being in two different threads/ message groups and if I could automatically take out the "re:" then the messages would be group together. Any ideas??
