I answered his question right under the question itself ( Under MSFT Jeff
Stephenson's reply dated 11/1/2004); I didn't start a new thread. But here
here it is again:
Dear Friendly Office Customer,
Unfortunately, I can't answer every single one of your questions, as
delightful and polite, and well written ( 3 "stupids," 2 "sucks," 1 "blows,"
and 1 "useless") as they are. But I answered a few and now must get on with
my day. Do please note that I found the answers to every single one of your
questions on the Office Online Web site (
http://office.microsoft.com). As
well, want to make a feature request? Please do so:

1. To get rid of the "Favorite Folders" box, on the View menu, uncheck
"Navigation Pane" or click Alt+F1.
2. You can't scroll but you can drag the window to the rigth (and then back
to the left if you want).
3. You can compost you replies and fowards in anything you want - but if you
have selected to reply to the person in the format it was sent, it will do
that. This is often the case with Internet mail senders. Check your settings
for that here: Tools > Options > Mail Format tab > Internet Format. you may
want to check and see that you have HTML set as your default composing
format: Tools > Options > Mail Format tab, and check all your options there.
4. hide the message header in the Reading pane: On the View menu, point to
Arrange By, and then click Custom. Click Other Settings. Under Reading Pane,
select the Hide header information check box.

5. Don't like the deafult colors - change them. Sheesh.
