Here are the benefits of Outlook: - HTML email by default. This means colours, animated gifs, even sounds! - Automatic opening of attachments. No need to click and that .pif file that some unkown friendly person sent to you. - Hiding of "known" file extensions. If they are known to your computer, you don't need to see them any more. After all, what do you have the computer for? - Automatic sending of mails by external programs. (The Bat! can do this also, but unfortunately, it will let you know about it.) - Integration into everything else in your computer. OL can do just everything except wash your socks! - Proprietary file format for message base, so that no other mail proggy or editor has access to your messages. - Handling of several POP accounts into the same Inbox. Seperate inboxes for seperate accounts, as offered by TB, is just too cumbersum. - Integrated newsreader. Even if you don't read news, it is always good to have a newsreader in your RAM. Who knows, one day you might need it. This list may not be complete, these are just the most outstanding benefits of Outlook. Maybe others want to add more. ;-) -- Cheers, Thomas.
