Thanks Ryder - that's what I suspected.
I guess a year from now - with luck and a few updates noting user preference
- this might start working how we would like?
I've tried Outlook several times, and given up due to too many complexities.
All I ever need is just a simple 'go get it and show me' program.
Waited a long time hoping for a better looking OE update - but this only
looks good.
To add insult to injury - clicking the email link MS sent me to advise of
your response just showed a blank web page.......hmmmm.
