Just like the rest of us here, he's just trying to help. I didn't pick up on any condescension when he told you you won't find much sympathy here for asking about broken m$ mailers. He's just telling it like it is. The fact is that this is a Debian users' list, and OE's brokenness is OT, so you won't get much help. Unfortunately, as is usually the case with interoperability problems, there's no clear place to go first: mutt doesn't want to change because it's using the open standard correctly and m$ doesn't want to change because it's using the open standard incorrectly. Can anybody on this list tell you why? Not really; here you'll only find guesses and opinions on the matter, and they'll all have the same slant. There's one easy way to avoid the cacophony: don't ask about m$ mailers on a debian users' list. This is getting even further OT, so it's the last I'll say on the matter.
