I use MS Outlook 2000 (not much choice at the office).
that's a big problem. outlook is the most massively broken piece of
you've got to have another choice. you can pop it off of an exchange
server and use thunderbird.
Some admins refuse to do sensible things like, say, have Exchange
permit IMAP. In my case, that leads me to have it Outlook set to
forward all of my mail outside the firm to an outside mail account
where I _can_ use IMAP. (which I'd probably do anyway, even if they
permitted IMAP internally, so that I'd see my mail without having
to VPN in).
Moreover, there are often firewall issues. A good mail provider
will be able to provide proxies on alternate ports, so that you can
still use things like Thunderbird with outside mail servers. I'm
doing exactly that right now...
Of course, if someone can help me tweak Outlook to make these nested
messages less of a pain to read, I'd be quite grateful too :-)
dump outlook!
Well there is that. But there's also
Tools->Options->MailFormat
Compose in this message format: Plain Text
It doesn't quote anything right, which is really annoying -
one cannot reasonably intersperse responses - but it does not
nest things when one replies. It simply tacks the original message
below as plaintext.
