Outlook Exploder pseudo-works. Sometimes you might manage to read a few
messages and even get one sent off before it decides to crash. Still, I
have a strict definition for when software really works... :-)

Are you kidding? It's necessary to ensure nobody forgets or fails to
realize how evil Microsoft is, and how unusable and generally cruddy their
softgware is... It's a duty and a responsibility for all of us who have
seen and experienced what Microsoft and its software does, and have also
experienced the alternative.
