Use common sense when using Outlook 2002-02-10

I have to agree with the previous posters. Outhouse^H^H^H^H^Hlook doesn't kill computers -- people do. :-)

I have and continue to use a variety of readers, but none that I have used, so far, have the overall usefullness of Outlook.

Also, in OL, you can choose what 'zone' to view email messages in. You can put all email messages in the 'restricted' zone -- and disable all script support, for example. Admittedly, it isn't as powerful as I would like (doesn't allow restricting cookies or restricting loading images on a zone-by-zone basis), but it does allow finer grain control. Than many email readers (big off switch: allow HTML, or not and zero fine tuning).
