Hi Ed,

Seems to me to implement the changes could take some time and effort + 
feed back the changes to Eventum developer team as a patch for general 
availability. As we need to roll out Eventum before that, with a level 
of email integration I am considering to use the following use case flow:
- Each project will have its dedicated email address assigned to 
send/receive emails
- Issue autocreation is turned off

This way email conversation belonging to an existing Eventum issue will 
be fine until the the In-reply-to field is returned back properly. In 
all other cases the emails will be loaded into Eventum and will be in 
"pending" status, see "Associate Emails" link. The project manager will 
check these pending emails and will either associate to corresponding 
existing issues or create new issues based on them.

At least we can start using Eventum and in the meantime can work on the 
exchange fix.
