You're right, the authors really dropped the ball.  They ignored a known 
problem (one of many) with their email software, and they expected the rest 
of the world to work around their bugs.  Of course, the users aren't 
blameless, they never demanded anything more.  In their apathy they allowed 
OE to prosper despite it's flaws.

Did you choose OE over other email clients, or do you only use it only because 
it was pre-installed?  You don't need to use Outlook Express just because you 
use Windows.  Think about it.
