Gary - My office FINALLY finished upgrading to XP at the end of 2007 so I
don't think I'll be seeing Vista any time soon...

And since MS is discontinuing Hotmail / OE compatibility I'll definitely be
using WLM from here on out.
Ron - Ahh. Not a bad workaround at all! Just tested it out - aok!
Thanks guys!!
