The starting "Pipe operator" e-mail has In-Reply-To: <047e01d91ed5$577e42a0$067ac7e0$@yahoo.com>, and the message with this Message-ID is the one from Mukesh Ghanshyamdas Lekhrajani with the subject "Re: [R] R Certification" that's immediately above the message by John Sorkin. -- Best regards, Ivan
Every email thread (mailing list or not) gets a hidden identifier that is used to identify that thread. It is not that Outlook outsmarted John... any email program would have done the same. John... please don't reply to existing posts with a new subject... many mailing list users may be using the threaded view in their email program and never see your question at all if they were not interested in the original thread.
