It drove me nuts as the work sys is W95 and outlookdistress.
I wanted to summary delete it but Norton antivirus would pitch
a fit if I even touched the mail. I have the outlook features
turned off but the antivirus is too efficient. only solution was
to isolate the machine just in case(pull net connection, drop
modem) and purge mail. What a PITA! Wishing I used VMS
at work or at least linux.
