yes, of course. 'doze, not outlook per se. outlook used to be very bad and i banned from my networks for a long time, but they really did clean it up a good deal a few years back. (outlook express is a completely different animal sharing only a name and it is still banned from my networks.) but i see this kneejerk bashing of OL all the time from people who should know better, but their clinton-defender style hatred of bush^H^H^H^H gates makes them say these things :-)
