William,

I understand what you are saying.

That is their position.

However, they could leave a configuration option fo the end user. There
is
no excuse for making that security decision for me.

At least that is the way I think.

But still, they are damned if they do, and damned if they don't right?
In
this case, these are just defaults that savvy users can override.

I suspect many of the Microsoft folks are using Outlook 2007 by now.
They
may have one VP *cough*ozzie*cough* using Lotus Notes....

You have ruined Outlook by being overly security conscious and
preventing
MDB
files from being emailed.

You have reuined Outlook by not allowing short cuts to be inserted into
the
text body of Tasks.

It is pretty clear that your staff does not use Outlook. I wonder what
contact management program they use. I would like to switch.
