    And having it in the subject causes funnies with the full outlook 2000
    client as well.
    
    I was scrolling through the bugtraq messages, and noted that this
    message(call it #2) had the same subject that the previous message(#1) did,
    although the window title had been updated appropriately. Moving on to the
    next message (#3), and going back again left me with the subject from
    message #3 showing on the subject line.
    
    It may be possible to overflow Outlook itself by including a carefully
    crafted subject line.
    
    Outlook version 9.0.0.2711 on NT 4 SP5
