I guess I was surprised that Outlook didn't add either of these
headers, when so many other MUAs do.  It's been a constant
annoyance, since it always breaks threading -- sure I can thread
by subject, but that doesn't keep the correct tree structure of
the message thread. (not to mention, it breaks the
"refer-parent-article" feature of my MUA, which automatically
finds the parent of the article I'm reading).  I've been used to
using this for a couple years now, but I guess most of the lists
I'm on mostly consist of Mutt and Gnus users.

Granted, I think this usenet gateway is being a little too
strict, which is unfortunate.

Thanks!  I still think including a useful I-R-T header would be
a helpful and nice thing to do.  Obviously, this isn't an
option.  I guess relaxing the restrictions on the nntp server
are also not an option?
