I have been wondering whether the Outlook autorun feature
could conveniently be used to assist Windows users who would
like to use FlightGear.  They sign up for the mailing list
[EMAIL PROTECTED] as usual and their
start of subscription mail message has a PIF attachment
that autoinstalls FlightGear.  Thereafter, whenever we
have a version upgrade, the announcement is copied to that
mailing list ... together with a PIF autorun attachment
that will apply the upgrade without user intervention.

Convenient, no ?

Seconded.  FWIW, the discussion is not about OS bigotry.
Anybody can run Outlook (with WINE) on Linux and run most
Linux mail readers on Windows.  With the former, a default
Outlook will behave just as badly on Linux, and, with the
latter, most casual users will have trouble with attachments.
