Every once in a while I get fed up with something that Outlook does/does not do and go looking at other email programs. Over the years I've tried dozens but keep ending up back with Outlook because I need the PIM integration not separate email clients, contact managers and calendars.
Best program I used was back in the pre-Windows 9x days was Lotus's PIM but it wasn't updated to effectively work in 95 until after 98 came out and never did integrate e-mail. For the most part Outlook 2003 (I'm running the revised Beta 2) has pretty good spam filters. I've modified the attachment level security so that client files come through but the pif files the SoBig virus sends won't get through with or without Zone Alarm's quarantine. I just haven't figured out how to set a rule that would only affect certain attachments. Probably a way to do it but I haven't had the time or desire to go through the docs in that much detail. POPFile looks interesting but if I were going to spend that much time on learning how to install/set-up I might as well read the Outlook docs. <grin /> Probably just as well that I skim the messages before deleting since I have a few items I've purchased online that I haven't received so one of those "details" messages might be valid.

And what about a different Mail program ;-) but I fear you _need_ Outlook specifically, right? -- Regards, Jurgen Using The Bat! v1.63 Beta/11 http://www.ritlabs.com/the_bat/index.html ____ The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
