Forget about fucntionality for a minute, how about e-mail etiquite.
When people use Word as an editor, sometime they got MAJORLY overboard
with using Word features that most other people out there will not be
able to interpret because of their mail client. I've seen people put in
tables and unless the other person is set to use word as their editor,
it comes out looking like crap and is a worthless e-mail. You're only
guaranteed compatbility for your internal users. I'd tell your boss
that he runs the risk of looking bad to external users.
I turn it off but users can re-enable it (all of them don't because they
don't know how). I leave HTML format on, which is bad enough because
people like to throw in ugly stationary and use impossible to read
fonts, but I have to bend somewhere.

Subject: [THIN] Outlook and Word as the Editor
You know I'm having a "wrong key words day". I find little on the
"don't use MS Word" as the email editor in Outlook. Now my boss says,
"we're taking a feature away from the users" go turn it on. I could
have sworn I saw a TON of "don't use MS Word as the Outlook email
editor.
But can I find them.....well here I post.
Any advice would be lovely. Especially specific TID's since again ya
only get what you look for on Microsoft's site. IF you feel charitable
also respond to my famous alternate address at yahoo jhstrowe@xxxxxxxxx
