Hi Guys-- Yeah, I have to agree, too. But I don't find that the subject line DOES change very often...do you? If the subjectline is irrelevant, well, that's a different blog post for a different day but I can't think of how one would group messages together that doesn't seem to have a built-in continuity. Hmm.

Gil, I agree with you with about the conversation views. I have been on Outlook 2010 for over a year now and I have noticed that if the subject changes or sometimes if it is not all the same people (people added or deleted) that sometimes it doesn't keep it in conversation view. I too would like a way to add messages into the conversation view if it could be. The Conversation view is a nice way to keep things cleaned up.

Hi Annik,

As someone who uses Outlook 2007 and arranges messages by Conversation, I'm definitely looking forward to when I upgrade to 2010 to be able to use these features.

Question: As you state, Conversation view groups messages that share the same subject line. However, sometimes the subject line is irrelevant, wrong, or the subject of conversation changes as the thread continues. Is there a way you know of to change the subject line but still keep the messages grouped together? If not, can you let the Outlook team know that this would be a welcome feature!

Thanks,

Gil
