First, allow me to explain that, being associated with Microsoft, I am = NOT limited in ANYTHING I want to say! I can freely say when something of = theirs stinks (like PREVIOUS versions of front page...see Linda...I said PREVIOUS<eg>). So I'm not censored in any way...other than an NDA not to talk about things that are under that agreement. That being said, I WOULD be under NDA for the beta...were it still in = the private beta version. But once they opened up the beta to 50,000 users = to preview, a lot of the original NDA items were also opened. Now to your Q...realize that ALL versions of Outlook, at least as far = back as I can remember, anyway, have always had a visual notification option = for arriving email. You can Tools/Options and then dig down into alert = options and set a visual display alert. And yes...the newest version also has = this feature.

I assume Office 2003 contains Outlook 2003. Will Outlook 2003 contain = visual (not audio) alerts that you have email? Being hearing impaired, if = something is not usable to me such as audio alearts, I don't use it. I have my = Eudora, for example, if I get an email from my aunt, it will auto-display her picture and I know I have email from her. Of course I don't have = everyone's picture, nor do I want everyone's picture, but I have almost all of my family, frat alumni, and a few of the people I graduated. Thank you.
