Great idea! I can imagine the conversation now ... "Boss, I know that
Outlook Express came free with our desktop O/S, and that 99% of our clients
use it, and that all of the staff are familiar with it, but I really think
we should dump it, because some non-work related messages from text-only
mail programs on 10+ year old UNIX boxen display funny."

I think you're trying to get me to join R.D. Davis in contemplative
unemployment.
(here's hoping you find a new job soon, R.D.).
