Assuming that you are working with a POP/IMAP/SMTP account, then you need to
be aware that Outlook 2003 no longer assigns a message id to the message.
This is now left up to the server. Hopefully your ISP or corporate mail
server is attaching a message id.
If the server does not attach a message id or its generation doesn't match
what Outlook used to do, it triggers spam filters. Spam filters need to be
updated to cope with this change.
