HAHAHA!!! I had the same problem a few years ago. Had to use Outlook, so I installed apatch that fixed Outlooks quoting. Everyone else began to complain about me "breaking" email :-) I may have to use Lookout for work, but I'll be damned if I use it when I don't absolutely have to. I sure as heck won't sign up for any mailing lists from my work email! -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
