Yepp, I did, as mentioned with respect to "GPO wizards" below, ie both GP
Modeling and GP Results, have been used to check for problems.
What I found was that they are taking effect, just not all of them(...) in
that particular GPO, and that's causing me grief [uuencode is always on] which
fouls up posting attachments to our internal mailing lists at the

And no 8-), me and university helpdesk concluded it's not a mail/list-server
problem but rather that the policy setting is not taking effect completely.
I found that out after checking, on a hunch, the registry settings for Outlook
on my own machine. The key
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Options\Mail\Message Plain Format
MIME" is set to "0", no matter what. I assumed the key would change to 1 when
checking the "don't use uuencode" GPO, but it didn't...
