   I have to ask, what is really so wrong with Outlook.
   And before you say well, you must not have used it before. I'm using it 
   right now.
   And I have also used Pine, elm, ZMail, ...
   I often find myself hitting Ctrl-e (emacs end of line) in Outlook and 
   then I hit Ctrl-z (M$ undo).
   I'm not a M$ advocate and I agree that they promote the cluelessness of
   the masses.  But I also don't think that Outlook is in and of itself 
   evil.
   
   	Just my $0.01, (hey if I had two would I have jumped into this)

   It's fine for internal stuff, as the quoting scheme they use works well.
   But it doesn't conform the the established standards, and those of us who
   have suffered by it find it makes being involved in serious internet based
   discussions pretty hard.
   
   The Ctrl-e problem happens to me a lot as well.
