Do we really want to get into a decent vs indecent mail client?  David's
problem is not that he uses Outlook Express, it's that he needs some
help in configuring it to work the way that he wants.  Outlook Express
(and Outlook) works just fine, particularly for those of us who aren't
able to use other clients because of various and sundry reasons.  In my
case, my employer requires Outlook at work.  But it does work just fine,
as you can see.

Now maybe this isn't the list for configuring Outlook (perhaps something
like PCSOFT (http://www.freepctech.com )), but it's also probably not
the place to put the smackdown on it, either.  Maybe I'm just a little
sensitive after seeing other mailing lists turn into turmoil over
software zealotry...please don't take this personally.  I'll probably
get over it ;-)

Thanks,
