Re: UKNM: HTML emails

[Kim Thesiger]

Lynne,


If you need an email client that connects to an Exchange server natively,

then the Mac Outlook client is the only one around.


Mac Outlook does offer the option to send messages to people formatted as

HTML ('send options' when you enter a new personal address) so it must have

the ability to receive at least basic HTML formatted text.


Another possibility is that if your IT department has enabled the IMAP

protocol on your Exchange server, you can use any IMAP email client

(Netscape, Eudora, Outlook Express etc.) all of which offer HTML support.

However, you wouldn't be able to use Exchange calendar or contacts (which

Mac Outlook doesn't really handle anyway) or more importantly the group

address book.


Your best bet is probably to put up with the current Mac Outlook client for

a few months since Microsoft will be releasing a greatly re-worked Mac

Outlook 2000 client in a couple of months which should bring the Mac client

to the same (awful) level as the current Windows Outlook client.


Have a look at http://www.macwindows.com/ for the full scoop on integrating

Macs into Windoze networks.


Keep the faith!
