Very good question.  I don't know why anybody uses
Outlook.  It is so notorious for being bug infested.

I have Outlook in my WIN95 machine.  Of course I
never use it.  I would like to completely remove
the darned program from my machine but I haven't
been able to figure out how to do that.  One good
way of doing it would be to run "deltree windows".
Instead of doing anything as drastic as that I would
like to find some programs that would remove only the
worst Windows components without getting rid of any
of the parts that are almost good.  The parts that
are almost good will still continue to function as
long as I never again make the mistake of installing
MSIE.
