Actualy, it's my firm believing that those problems
("crappy ol' outlook stripping the tags") *begun* when
the colon was moved *inside* the brackets. I never saw that
problem before, and I always put the colon *outside*
of the brackets in my own posts.

It's my understanding that Outlook sometimes mixes up
the "[xxx:]" tags with the normal "Re:" or "Fw:" tags and strips
them (and leaves a single "]") to avoid multiple tags in the subject.
When using the "[xxx]:" tags, this never happens (for me, at least).
I have *only* seen the stripping of tags when the colon has been
inside the brackets.

I'v still not seen any reasonable reason to move the colon
inside the brackets and I believe my explanation above
is pretty plausable...

I'm reading piclist using Outlook 2000 SR1, b.t.w.

I'm not sure it was... :-) :-)
