Threading with Outlook-sent emails

#2625

Mailmate does not seem to be detecting the reply-to relationship between emails sent from Outlook/MS Exchange

For example, in the original email, some of the headers include the following (some domain names changed):

Thread-Topic: Chat this week?
Thread-Index: AQHWaC+fdP5k5VLi+Ei4o+XqM3arbqklmIMS///BigCAAEQGTYALw6aA
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2020 17:20:43 +0000
Message-ID:
 <b94f9f4e262a4f3b9dbd2629b91bad3d@BL0PR07MB5649.namprd07.prod.outlook.com>
x-ms-exchange-parent-message-id:
 <595EF641-7046-4AC4-9D41-439074E0370B@mycollege.edu>

In the message that was a direct reply, some of the headers include:

However, MailMate does not regard these messages as having any relationship. Note that the In-Reply-To field refers to the field x-ms-exchange-parent-message-id.

I'm happy to privately send more complete header information if needed.

    Hmm, this might be related to the fact that the Exchange server is automatically re-sending these emails from one account to my account.

    If this is the issue, then I guess this may not be a bug report so much as a feature request that MailMate's threading mechanism is permissive enough to preserve threading for re-sent emails.
