Piss off Rich. I got lumbered with a winxp laptop with no local admin
priviledges while my new one is readied. Once it is I will install a proper
mail client instead of outlook until then I am stuck with the scabby POS.

If you want me to mail you from my work laptop I can. If you want me to
setup this newsgroup & post to it from outlook from that machine I
think I will be able to.

At that point I'd expect your sorry slimy little buttocks to fart an
apology given that is the orifice you usually use for communicating.

Nice of you to let me know ways in which I can make outlook into less of a pos.
