I have to use Notlook at the office, and of course it is on the windoz system on
this machine (which dualboots into SuSE 9.1) I installed something called
QuoteFix on it and now it allows me to bottom quote like real people do B-]
MS really screwed that one up as all else I guess. As soon as they bring the
Exchange server up to W2K I am going to try the shim with Evoluition and see
how that works, if it does I will be MS free except for my mapping stuff.
