MS Outlook is not RFC compliant in the forwarding of messages. It mangles and

Microsoft would be doing users a favor if they make Outlook fully RFC
compliant. This problem also causes mail that is 'redirected' to be broken.

No version of MS Outlook ever released has even been close to RFC compliant.
That is really pathetic.

Worthless suggestion. You mention Ellen's post over in the SpamCop
newsgroups but don't even bother to copy it here to provide explanation
of your reference. You claim Outlook is not RFC compliant but you can't
be bothered to mention which REQUIRED statements in *which* RFCs that
Outlook is violating (since SHOULD and RECOMMENDED statements are not
required compliance by any e-mail client).

You wanted to rant. You obviously weren't interested in providing any
details. Useless suggestion.
