Thanks for the heads up. As much as I like linux/freebsd, at work I am stuck
with a standard windows load for most stuff, I have a linux workstation as
well but I am not allowed to connect it to the exchange infrastructure.
Recently the workstation loads got updated and I didn't think to go into
outlook and set it back to text only. Your comment made me go back and check
that setting.
