Yeah, I know.  I've been fretting about that for the last couple of days. 
I'm glad you replied.  I was really bereft of the specifics of what you
struggled with but am glad you took my jibes in good humour.

Ah, not a good idea.  The Outlook program is another MS product with a big
target on its back for hackers and their ilk.  It's okay in a work
environment but not usually recommended for general community use.

Ahmm, Thunderbird is just another Windows program.  It has direct access to
& from the Windows "clipboard".  Anything that you can get
-to- the Windows clipboard usually can be pasted into a Thunderbird email
window.  Either using the 'Edit' menu option in a text-drafting window or
by simply right-clicking the mouse on its window will work.

How about a demonstration?  This node's Sunday afternoon's maintenance run
produced this echo report for my main node in a _netmail_ (partial extract
only)...

Now.  What was it you were trying to do again?  ;)

Cheers,
