FYI, Outlook and Outlook Express are notorious for their gaping security
holes, allowing address miners to steal addresses, among other things.
I strongly recommend using almost anything *but* these two programs.
Eudora or, my mail agent of choice, Thunderbird (with, of course,
Firefox as a web browser).

What the heck, while we're off topic... I've recently dumped Norton in
favor of Avast! for virus control (free, every bit as effective as NAV),
use both Ad-Aware SE Personal *and* SpyBot for malware control (both are
free and one catches what the other misses), and Firefox for cookie
control. As long as your machine or net is behind a router (unless
you've opened all the ports and haven't changed the password) and you
use WEP (breakable, even at 128 level, BTW) or WPA for your wireless
net, there is no need for a firewall as the router does that for you.
Startup times will plummet without Norton and reliability (notably ccApp
crashes) will improve markedly.

We return you to your Baba discussions, already in progress.

Cheers,
   Rick
