Re. Outlook/OE, it's some time since I've used them (so perhaps they've improved) but I've never understood why windows users (and yes, I happily use W2K in addition to Linux) don't use the superior Pegasus email client.
Because Pegasus is third party and requires action on the part of the user to get it to work. Remember the great majority of Windows users out there don't want to delve into the intricacy's of how the system works. They just want it to work. And when it doesn't they know there are plenty of people around who can make it work. Hence the use of Outlook Express - It's pre-installed, integrated into Windows and has plenty of support (often free and over the phone). Actually I should say majority of 'Computer' users. People who want to be able to type their Letters, Email their friends, Surf the web and listen to their MP3's without having to set anything up if they can avoid it. And when it breaks they want to be able to fix it little hassle and minimal cost. Of course there are those of us (myself included) who are more technologically inclined, but use OE (html send 'off') because it's there and is a reasonably tidy client.
