e-mail readers (very much OT)

[David Ilvedson]

I use Outlook Express and don't have any problems with it.  Outlook Express
doesn't pre-open attachements as far as I know...just Outlook?  I have DSL
now and for some reason Pegasus can't send mail...?  I have the same
configuration as Outlook Express so I'm not sure...the conspiracy theorist
in me blames Micro$oft/Internet Explorer...I upgraded to 6.0.
