Hello Stefan, I worked in the IT environment for the last 7 years (selling the StorageWorks and AlphaServer Stuff since DIGITAL *sigh*) and I was _always_ forced to use this or that software. Whichever it was, I was forced to use it, simply because someone decided that everyone had to use the same thing, and it was usually Microsoft. No matter, what browser (IE), what office software (MS Office) or which email client. The email client was a class of its own in some ways. That was not always MS, that depended upon which management software the company was using to include address books, appointments, faxes and most of all some tracking software for the offers we sent to customers. When I worked in a big company, that usually I ended up working with Slowtus Notes (that program I hate the most of all!), with smaller companies it was often some small obscure little management software that included an email client of it's on. -- Gru�, Jurgen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v1.62 Christmas Edition on Win.XP.5.1.2600.SP1 http://members.ud.com/services/teams/team.htm?id=E3ECFC2E-5950-4AF5-A604-140301A81367 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
