I presume this means you're using MAPI to do you email. I've always avoided
this, at first because I thought the interface was just ugly, then because I
didn't want to have to load another program to do the transport.
There are plenty of components available that will handle the entire email
process without resorting to MAPI, and they will NEVER fail because of a
corrupt installation of Outlook. How (or if) you use them is of course
entirely up to you :)
