But Outlook Express:
1)  doesn't run on my linux boxes, not even under x-windows.
2)  has more virus exploits written for it than every other client put 
together.
3)  doesn't follow RFC standards and makes its own.
4)  MOST IMPORTANT:  Makes it extremely hard to read, and impossible to cut 
and paste, headers.

Which means it's quite unsuitable <frown>.
