Thanks. I went to the URL to see what MicroSoft has to say
about their newer versions.
I would stay away from an application known as "Pocket Outlook"
As you know, Outlook has a very bad reputation for being easily
exploitable by viruses, especially when opening MicroSoft Word
and Excel attachments, being applications that are likewise virus
prone. The modern versions of Windows CE are far too bloated to
run on my old hand-held computer anyway. By using the DOS program
UUENCODE, you can send any kind of attachment you want. When
running old hardware you should stay away from modern operating
systems and application programs. They will slow down your machine
and consume your limited system resources.

It isn't a "Palmtop", whatever that is. It is a handheld-PC and
it has a very small QWERTY keyboard. A "Palm" is another type
and it uses a different OS. I have already tried to use my
hand-held PC for DOS communications programs. They won't work
with my DOS emulator. I think the reason why they won't work is
that that DOS emulator isn't "real" DOS. It is just a Windows CE
program. The emulator will run most other types of DOS programs
just fine. Also you can install any version of DOS for it to
emulate.
All the best,
Sam Heywood
