It's purely down to personal taste. Some people, like me(*), regard OOo as a way of producing documents. Some people regard it as a complete "office OS" where they can do everything they need to do at the office - doc prep, email, whatever - without leaving their "office software". The two camps seem to talk at cross purposes rather a lot :-) The problem being, there is no right or wrong, it's just down to what best suits the individual. (*) not that I'm totally against inclusion of a mail client, provided it didn't detract from development of the rest of the package. Like most other things, I'd look and use what best suited me. -- Permission for this mail to be processed by any third party in connection with marketing or advertising purposes is hereby explicitly denied. http://www.scottsonline.org.uk lists incoming sites blocked because of spam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
