I've been browsing the archives lately just as a learning tool, and I'm just finding out that MUAs play such a large part of what I see here in all of email. OE is what I use at work, Thunderbird at home, so that explains the problem I saw. Did Microsoft get much of anything right? It just never occurred to me that it may be the MUA, though, this time. Thanks so much.
