I'm more of a user interface guy, but here's my thoughts (take with a
grain of salt):

You want to programatically create a grouping of emails based on
commonality of a specific subject. I assume you're not counting on the
Subject line field. I've used word indexer Outlook plug-ins like
lookout or NEO (emailorganizer.com) Now you're looking to create this
functionality and I'm talking about an "in the box" solution". I think
its a good idea for you to look at NEO's user functionality as you may
model from this. In NEO I can take the discussion topic "WIDGET",
perform search on "WIDGET", in split second have all the emails that
mentioned "WIDGET". I can then further group these and then with a
seperate function, identify all unique correspondents (by email
address). Each correspondent created in NEO further has a folder
connected to it in which you can input further contact info. I'm a
business/sales+marketing user so this is helpful to me.

I apologize if I'm totally off track here. I'm new to developer boards.
Personally, I'm looking for help in customizing Outlook forms (more
specifically BCM forms withing Outlook)

Adios
