Unfortunately, the IS groups to whom the Lotus Notes total central-control

block access from corporate network to web-based mail sites. I, for
example, have to deal with both of these problems.
As Craig said, perhaps by discussing it we can help others find ways to
us Notes better. I found out about the internet quoting style by talking
to our Notes Admin but it wasn't going to be enabled until I asked.
The companies that use Notes probably have to lock down web-mail and
external mail providers to stop the mass migration of users away from
their corporate mail servers. I know we do.
For my part, I watch the mailing list digests from work, but mostly
reply from home where I can use Thunderbird and don't have to mess
around with quoting and chopping messages. As a manager, I can get to
web-mail from the office but prefer the features of a full client.
My biggest gripe with Notes is that you can't get any out of the box
applications to talk to it. Everything comes with an Exchange interface
but only about 20% seem to do Notes. It does have it's pro's like
invunerability to viruses and worms and the GroupWare "Tribal Knowledge"
thing is a good selling point, but most of our Tribe has moved to
intranet databases and only about 60 of our 5000 users use the
calendars. For the rest it's just fat-mail and the upgrade to the latest
version comes with a 1-hour compulsory training session. Arrgggh!
