I love Entourage's way of doing things for two additional reasons. First of all the exact source of the message, as it was sent to me, is stored in the database, allowing much easier debugging of email problems. As my company's mail admin I have to do this a great deal (particularly since I have to pry that piece-of-crap QuickMail Pro out of everyone's hands just because they are too scared to learn a new interface!). Secondly, it allows me to track down files I've sent to others. Not just the file itself, but the exact revision of the file that I sent since the one on my drive may have gone through a number of revisions since having been sent. It's been a life saver for me. -Remo Del Bello -- Ash nazg durbatul�k, ash nazg gimbatul Ash nazg thrataul�k agh burzum-ishi krimpatul -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
