I have seen too much software with specific Outlook / OE requirements and workarounds. It is sickening. Outlook / Outlook Express are *not* mail user agents (MUAs) they are pseudo-mail unaware-user agents (PMUUA, kinda like the noise horrid tasting food makes when I spit it back out). Sadly changing MUAs is not a possibility for a lot of people, and some people thing Outlook Expressly-made-to-annoy *is* email. I will never lose the energy to keep telling people to run PC-PINE, Eudora, Mulberry, Pegasus, or something else (even a webmail app). The best argument is simple - you will get 95% less viruses JUST by changing your mail application.
