hmmmm...that's a scary thought.  It'a analagous to saying AOL is the
Internet standard for ISPs because they have the largest subscriber base.
How many people on this list would put their hands up for that one?

It's somewhat depressing to see pioneers like L-Soft having to bow to
another company's 'standards' simply because said company managed to jam
enough dubiously compliant MUAs onto desktops (over which they've already
had their wrists slapped for blatantly using suspect methods of so-called
'distribution').

Perhaps if enough Outlook users complained then the developers of *that*
product would be forced to change their code to match every other MUA on the
face of the earth.

Anyhow, that's my two bob's worth.
