You're right! I just realized...when you said that and I checked...that ONLY
this Freelist group messes up still!
All the other groups to which I'm a member say:
RE: [msoffice] subject text
But this group says:
[mso] re: subject text
So it's like RE is part of the text versus RE being an item that Outlook
recognizes in the list.
When I first checked out the "solution" I set the group and took a quick
look to see if it worked...noticed it did, cos' I saw subject w/without RE:
grouped together, and that was that. But I must have looked one of the other
groups cos' all the Yahoo groups work that way and they work. But this group
adds the RE "after" the group name...so it gets messed up!
Hummmmm....

Mine, too. I think that the "[mso]" is the culprit. Outlook doesn't see the
"Re:" first so thinks it's a new subject.

I have OL 2002 and when I do this, it groups them by
subject, but it doesn't ignore the RE:, they are grouped as
a separate subject. What am I doing wrong?

Subject: [mso] Sorting posts by subject - solution
Hi folks...
Yeah, I've been very busy rolling out a client upgrade and doing
training...as well as trying to get a grip on being a road warrior after two
years of sitting on my butt while directing tech traffic!<g> So it's been an
adventure!
Anyway...I was just sorting the tons of posts from this week
in Outlook...when it dawned on me that I was doing something that I believe
someone had once asked about. Don't know if there was ever an answer...so
here's one.
Problem:
If you attempt to sort all the posts in Outlook (or any
email) by SUBJECT by clicking on the subject column button
at the top of via the View ....(depending on version, next menu)...Sort/by
Subject...they will get mixed up cos' an email with the subject of:
My Problem
...will not be sorted in the same alpha order as one with
the subject of
RE: My Problem
To fix this...click View (versions have different items
here, I believe)...but move to the CUSTOM view. Then click
on GROUP and GROUP by Subject...rather than using the group default of auto
group and then using SORT by subject.
When you GROUP them...the one with and without the RE and FORWARD are
ignored and the subject text itself will be grouped. This will help you keep
the question with the subsequent answers.
Hope this helps someone out there!
Cheers...
