Re: off topic - e-mail software

If you have Preview set up with Outlook, you can read email without opening 
it.  However, the script kiddies are getting so sophisticated that actually 
previewing an email can cause problems.

You are not alone in your M$ frustration.  Read this from 
http://www.netaction.org/notes/notes77.html#outlook

"Virtually every Internet virus and/or worm causing widespread damage today 
has been propagated by using Microsoft software, principally Microsoft 
Outlook, and Microsoft Internet Information Server. It is these two 
programs which are badly designed and extremely insecure which should be 
targeted as virus launchers, which is what they are." In a later message he 
added, "Using Outlook as a mail client is like going on holiday and leaving 
your house not only unlocked, but leaving the doors and windows wide open."

As the article suggests, the email client in Netscape, as well as Eudora is 
the route to go.
