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, Drew Dunn
