JC - slashdot is wrong on this one - the default return is no TNEF - you have to select it on a new contact address. If you receive non-TNEF mail, the return default is non-TNEF. If you receive TNEF mail, the default return is TNEF. Pretty sensible I think. I started using Outlook as my mail client at the time I started using Win2K on my laptop, about 6 months ago. I have gotten pretty addicted. I have all of my fax traffic as well as multiple email accounts all routed to various folders, no muss no fuss. I don't even use my "older" client much any more, but that may have more to do with the wireless LAN that lets me sit in the yard or by the pool and do time-wasting stuff like I am doing now.

Here's a link explaining the MS Outlook buffer overflow exploit related to this same vCard thing crackmonkey.org --- MS still keeps the 'consumer' exposed to this 'innovation'. People should turn this off. -JCJ

Well, this is just how Microsoft works... in 30 years, Bill Gates will be known for having invented the most curious License Terms. Especially the way in which Microsoft publicized the Microsoft-modified version of kerberos will always be remembered. I would analyze the situation this way: Microsoft did discover the internet, but unlike Al Gore, they will not just say "We made it", they will try to own it. This is where investors comes in: If you believe that Microsoft will one day own the internet, then you should buy. Now.
