   Yeah, I know.  I've been fretting about that for the last couple of days.  I'm   
   glad you replied.  I was really bereft of the specifics of what you struggled   
   with but am glad you took my jibes in good humour.

   Ah, not a good idea.  The Outlook program is another MS product with a big   
   target on its back for hackers and their ilk.  It's okay in a work environment   
   but not usually recommended for general community use.   
      
   Ahmm, Thunderbird is just another Windows program.  It has direct access to &   
   from the Windows "clipboard".  Anything that you can get -to- the Windows   
   clipboard usually can be pasted into a Thunderbird email window.  Either using   
   the 'Edit' menu option in a text-drafting window or by simply right-clicking   
   the mouse on its window will work.   
      
   How about a demonstration?  This node's Sunday afternoon's maintenance run   
   produced this echo report for my main node in a _netmail_ (partial extract   
   only)...

   Now.  What was it you were trying to do again?  ;)
