I was responding to Craig.  Try doing something pro-active like getting your
boss to let you D/L Mozilla or something similar to use for emailing.

I have no idea how Lotus Notes works - it just seemed logical that
the cursor keys would allow you to not top-post.  If that's not true,
just educate me and say so - I've never worked for brain-dead IT
people - usually more cutting edge types - so I haven't had your bad
experiences.  I guarantee you I'd be bitching at every turn to the
point of near firing if I had to put up what you seem to have to.

Then try to get control.  I'm sure there are ways around it - maybe a
gmail account will satisfy your needs.  If you exhausted all possible
means of getting access to a decent email client, then I apologize -
but I doubt you have.  You can log into a website can't you ?  Try
gmail.com or hotmail if you can't install any decent software.
