No problem. More reason to shift to Eudora or Mozilla's Thunderbird client.

Or FreeBSD and pine!

Eudora is a fine program..I have used it since the beginning.

Friends don't let Friends use Outlook, and no one with anything to say uses Hotmail. Nothing from Hotmail ever gets to my client. In one sense, it's too bad, but spammers forge Hotmail into so many of their headers that MS's landsharks can't (Or won't) keep up with them. Further, I had a hotmail address used for throwaway purposes. I had a nonguessable, obscure emial address, and to this day remain convinced the MS or its emplyees sell these addresses to spammers. Open a hotmail account, never use it, but check it once a month, and watch what happens.

There's also a good mail client called Pegasus Mail (www.pmail.com). It looks nothing like Outlook, but that's not always a bad thing. :) I've been using it for 6 years now and will only install Outlook on my home machine when I (supposedly) get the Viewsonic V37 Pocket PC that's coming to me because my company bought me an MSDN subscription. It supposedly requires Outlook to sync properly. I'll install it, mind you, but I won't actually *use* it.

I'm a COBOL programmer on IBM mainframes. That MSDN subscription does me no good, but it'll get me a free Pocket PC, so who am I to doubt my company?

indeed. what you said

headline... "Microsoft kills off Outlook Express" at last, a mercy-killing that even a conservative can support...

I am getting LOTs of the msblast crap from folks who are on outlook, and outlook express today. Gates and the virus gangsters are doing that thing they do... so well.

you done the mozilla 1.4 yet?
EZ install? *nix box?

Interesting. I've been using Mozilla for some time now (right now, in fact) -- but I haven't kept up to date on development activities and hadn't heard about this...
