Perhaps you could explain this note at the end of your messages.
Yes, I can.
MS Clients produce broken quotes, false encodings, defective sig separators and other format errors.

Another good reason to avoid Outlook & Outlook express is that, since they are by far the most popular email programs, a lot of virus and hacking activity is aimed directly at them, but is ineffective against other email programs.
My company uses Eudora exclusively, and we have a partner company (on the same network) that uses Outlook. A few weeks back when a QSI employee opened an attachment with a virus (in spite of vigorous education efforts on our part), it didn't touch any QSI computers, but wrecked havoc with our partner company. (It also pointed out a failure on part of our IS manager -- but that's another story.)
There are reasons TO use Outlook/Express, e.g., I know of a CRM program that integrates tightly with Outlook, and if you used another email program you would loose a lot of the CRM functionality.
Eudora is available in free or paid versions: www.eudora.com.
