Entourage 2008 can’t see emails with a plus (“+”) in the subject.

Many people that use Macs need to use Entourage because their company utilizes Microsoft Exchange. That’s fine with me, as Exchange seems to be a perfectly functional (when someone else is running it) calendaring/email/addressbook “enterprise” thing. Plus, Mail.app is such a frustratingly bad piece of software. But this (probably) bug in Entourage is really silly.

Try sending yourself an email with the plus sign, “+” in the subject. Outlook can see it. Webmail can see it, but Entourage has no friggin’ idea it is there. The receipt of the mail triggers the sync of the inbox, but nothing shows up! What the hell?

Now, to find where the heck the bug submission button is…
