[Outlook. Other mail readers.] Heh. Mailer readers OUGHT to be a case where "open source" comes in REAL handy. Want a mail reader that's completely text-only? No problem - we'll just comment out this code here. Want one that handles some HTML and picture enclosures, but never does anything executable, and never opens an HTTP connection? No problem. Want one that reads outlook files? Not TOO big of a problem, probably... Want it to read outlook file as well as those 25 year-old tops20 files? No harder than reading the outlook files...
