WHAT?!? I can _barely_ get Exchange to talk to my mac, and I had to beg my administrators to open the web to internal machines so I might be able to get company-wide mail internally on the Unix boxes my group uses. Cross platform availablility? It only runs on Windows, it usually only speaks to windows, using a proprietary client format that Microsoft has actually cease-and-desisted, sued, and changed arbitrarily (and "forgot" to report those changes, and "hidden" features to) on the companies that actually paid for access to the API ... I must not understand what you mean by "cross-platform availability". > It's not a conversation worth having. > > FWIW, Dan emailed me off list, and confirmed there's something funny going > on at his end - using a mail to news gateway, which apparently doesn't > handle html properly. So this is not something to "blame" on outlook. Except that Outlook has to be beaten upon to send non-html mail, if it can, at all (depending on the version), and HTML mail is _not_ in any way, shape or form an cross-platform benefit. Many of my accesses to mail are on terminal-only sessions, over SSH, or on my cell-phone, which does not have mail/browser connections. And seems, by default, to try and keep people from commentary inline, allowing only for top or bottom posting. But that's a pet peeve of mine. -dkap _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
