T-bird is just usenet and email. Outlook is email, calendar, tasks, shared folders, etc. all of which are used by my company. I like having the word processor as my HTML email editor because it spell checks as I go along. It also handles pasted HTML from other app's better than the default outlook email editor. Problem is the email that gets sent doesn't look the same as what I composed when using stationery. It gets indented a couple of extra tab stops when viewed by the recipient instead of looking like it did when I composed it. I was hoping OOo could be hooked into Outlook as the html editor because it usually works better than Word. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Everyone must use Outlook. It's a company requirement, so they will have no problems reading HTML. If this were 1990 I would agree that sending email in HTML format would be unadvisable. This is 2005 though and any email client that can't handle HTML isn't worth wasting time with. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
