You can always do a simple search at: http://www.portablefreeware.com/
and see if a portable alternative is available. I am even started to
identify which programs are Unicode-enabled recently.
If you come across any good portable apps that are not already listed in
the databsae, do drop me a mail. Thanks!

Thanks for the links, Mel. I'll examine everything and see what I can come
up with. Appreciate it.

Wait, Pegasus Mail is a no-install?

I had no idea there was such a big demand for this type of software.

This one may be a duplicate:
INF UNINSTALL
"I found a way to delete Registry values using .INF files.
For example UNDOIT.INF:
http://www.mdgx.com/newtip16.htm
=======================================================================
Looks like this could be run in a batch job after exiting a portable
program that uses the registry.
DELETE REGISTRY KEY/VALUE
This works with ALL Windows 95B/95C OSR 2.x, 98, ME, 2000, XP and 2003
releases.
REGEDIT /D [regkeyname]

I run Karen Kenworthy's Replicator from a USB stick and it politely

the Registry, I presume. I tell it no and it runs fine on the stick
settings. The next time I run the HD version, it asks the same question
and I give the same answer.
Neither fish nor fowl, but a good compromise anyway.

It would be nice to do a "clean" Windows install without having to
re-install all your programs.

That's why I use it.

If none of them used the registry perhaps that monstrosity could be
abolished.

I used to feel the same way, but HTML email has some advantages,
especially for receiving ads from companies that I actually want to do
business with. AFAIK, the security issues with HTML have been fixed so
the main objection in the past is no longer relevant. If this is
incorrect, please advise.

Another issue with HTML messages, albeit a not-too-important one, is message
size. Many such messages are sent bundled with plain-text messages, leading
to unnecessarily bloated file sizes. (One reason I stick with Pegasus Mail
is that it can easily remove the HTML portion of such messages. I like
that.) This is a lesser problem these days, but it annoys me and some others
nonetheless.
For my part, I wish e-mail formatting was more akin to very simple RTF
formatting: no typeface or font size declarations, but bold, italics,
underscoring, superscript, and subscript. Paragraph formatting would be kept
left-indention only. What more is needed?

Personally, the only stuff I reinstall are Microsoft apps, my Palm's
software (which interfaces with Microsoft apps), Google Earth, my fax
software (It actually works without being installed, except for the
print-from-any-application feature), and a bunch of other software that
interfaces with external hardware (webcam, PocketPC, MP3 players, etc)

If you say size isn't important, you haven't spent enough time on dialup
recently. I did a 5 week vacation and was on dialup for virtually all
of that time, even eBay and Amazon emails are painfully slow to load on
a dialup.
For the most part this happens if you set ThunderBird to sanatize HTML
mail before displaying it. Does the trick nicely.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people (teenagers and upper
management, mostly) who feel that unless there is something animated,
colourful, a difficult to read font, or otherwise obnoxious, people
won't read the message.

True enough, indeed. Amazing how great dial-up was 10 years ago and how
inadequate it feels today.
I suggest we dump these folks in the ocean.
