No Outlook and Outlook Express though they look similar are quite different. Outlook, which is bundled with MS Office Professional, seems to be primarily designed to work with Microsoft Exchange on a corporate network. Outlook Express, which comes with IE, has some features which Outlook doesn't have and lacks a few which Outlook has. Overall it's much easier to use and doesn't cause the problems which Outlook does - and it's very good with Unicode text. > The main problem with Outlook that I think Karljuergen is referring to has > to do with those darned "winmail.dat" blobs.

Using Outlook or MS Word to send "rich" email resuts in "winmail.dat" blobs being sent - but Outlook Express does not seem to generate these as it uses HTML and multi-part MIME. - Chris
