This has nothing to do with Linux at all....
but if there's one thing I really hate it's Outlook. For one an e-mail client
should read and write e-mail, not play calendar or something. Second when you
reply to a message it quotes the original message the wrong way. Third, I have
not seen a decent GUI-driven e-mail program (remember to break your lines
somewhere around the 75'th column). Fourth, e-mail should not contain HTML.
Fifth, if windows users use Mozilla instead of Outleak and Exploder they 
will get half the number of viruses, worms, and trojans.

Kind regards,
