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?  ;)

Cheers,
