RE: Format of these messages

["Dan Bale" <dbale@xxxxxxxxx>]

The ONLY reason I use Outlook is that it has the calendaring/scheduling
function I rely on to run my day.  I have looked high & low for a separate
application that doesn't cost an arm or a leg to no avail.

And to be specific, the calendaring/scheduling function I use must be able
to pop up a notice at a specified time.

If anyone has a solution per my requirements, I'll gladly show Outlook the
door.

Well, I don't know what Outlook can or can't do.   I use procmail to
sort my messages, and I use 'List-Id', which works flawlessly in every
situation that I've encountered.

But, like all Microsoft products, you have to use Outlook.  Doesn't matter
if it's the most likely program on the planet to give you a virus.
Doesn't matter if it's known to have huge, gaping, security flaws.
Doesn't matter if it can only deal with some E-mail headers and not all of
them.   Or if it isn't fully RFC compliant.

It's Microsoft -- it doesn't matter how bad it is -- everything else is
'Legacy', so you have to use the Microsoft program.
