    Er, the MS mail the company I work for uses.  Something which I
have been all to aware of for some time now.  Unfortunately, once
companies make an "iffy" decision, they usually compound it by
layering it under semi-supportive (read: additional rationalizing)
decisions.  It's extremely frustrating, but it's the way most
companies which see computers as a simple, though  necessary tools
do business.  As the technology settles into the hands of the
masses, it's this sort of approach which survives (I have a whole
philosophy regarding this, we can discuss it off-line -- email to
gman@apocalypse.org).  I'm sure we're all aware of the problems the
MSFTies introduce with just about any product they release, but this
is another problem entirely, I completely agree with you, but this
really shouldn't devolve into a discussion about what's wrong with
[various] email[ers] or other apps...

                          Cheers,
                              Steve

    PS(My most recent battle scars come from 6 years at ftp
Software, the last 5 of which were in research, and developing
and implementing new kernel technologies for comercial release).
