Sorry, I'm so behind on the list, but I wanted to reply to this one. I used Outlook (and Pegasus, and Netscape, and Eudora, etc etc.) for a long time bouncing back and forth until I finally searched Download.com and downloaded and installed every client they had. and that was lots of them. I finally found an email client I liked.
It is not only a great email client, it's also the only peice of shareware in my 25 years behind a computer that I have registered. That's a considerable accomplishment because the software doens't even disable after the 30 days. At least one other person on this list uses it, it's called Rebecca. (Becky! for short) Everything in that list on your website Becky can do. The only exception is that it won't purge attachments. it will however build them and put them in a seperate folder as files, making them really easy to scan. HTML mail can be viewed as HTML, HTML source, or converted to text. and it will strip scripts when you view using the IE component. It will also save and read .eml files. and is MAPI compatible. The programmer is also very responsive on bug and feature implementations. You can see it at http://www.rimarts.co.jp/ You don't HAVE to use Outlook. However admittedly other outlook features including it's mutual embedding into the business apps of today makes it very hard to get along without. I use it for everything except Email. And Outlook hates that. Bryan Britt Beltane Web Services -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ICQ: 53037451 Bryan L.
