rodzilla, did you know that Outlook and Outlook Express are indeed two separate programs? Most users would user Outlook Express, the freebie email program that is actually integrated into Internet Explorer. I've tried Eudora a few times over the years. It never quite worked or looked the way I wanted it to work. And it was so hard to get the initial configuration setup each time. There was some weird way they did things. I even tried Pegasus mail briefly. None of these programs work or look the way I want. I like the convenience and utility of having the *standard* software. I've worked Internet Technical Support before. Internet Explorer & Outlook Express are the software supported by the Microsoft Networks (MSN), and many other ISP's. Ron
