Sue,
Thanks for your reply.
I thought, YES! An application that will do the same thing as disabling the
"security" feature! Until I read the 'Known limitations' !!! It won't work
if the computer is in locked mode, which of course it has to be in... ! :(
Maaan!
And it describes how Outlook Express has this feature too, but in its
settings you have the choice to enable or disable it!
Can NOT believe Outlook, which is supposed to be the PRO version is that
stupid..! :(
I'm not a programmer so I have no clue how I would be able to intercept the
mail message from our OTM software to be accepted by Outlook...?!
That is such a shame! Not letting the customer decide what to
enable/disable!! :(
Very frustrating!
Thanks though!
