You need to use OUTLOOK for the function you're trying to
use. Open IE and set the OUTLOOK program as you default
email client.

If you have outlook 2003 why do you use outlook express for email? Outlook
is a far richer and secure email client than outlook express. Plus the
function your trying to use needs to have outlook as the default email
program.

So why is the internet mail code from Outlook Express built into Outlook.
 
Internet mail code? Not sure what your talking about. Have you decompiled
these programs and read the code? Explain please.
 
The Outlook group weren't going to write code the IE group had already written. So Outlook got Internet mail from the IE team and MS Internet Mail And News got Outlook's name.

So outlook is derived, in part, from Outlook Express. Outlook Express derives only it's name from outlook.
 
I'll bet code sharing goes on intenally in MS all the time. It only makes
sense, but if you try outlook 2003 you'll see it blows outlook express away
in features and security options.
 
When they remove the Journal, Calandar, Address Book, support for exchange, make folder sharing work, and add newsgroups I'll condider it.

My point is it's Outlook that is (partially) the copy not Outlook Express.
 
I understand your saying that some outlook code is from oe. Outlook may have
code copied from outlook express, but it also has more code for better
security handling with attachments, pictures, preview panes, and such. And
with a add-on you have full control over which attachments get thru and
which don't depending on extensions and properites of files. The point that
some of outlook code is from oe is mute, outlook, from what I read, and in
my experience, is more secure and has more options, period. This is why it
targeted for businesses, as home users don't need most of the goodies, and
oe's attachment blocking seems to work fine if you don't turn it off.
If you take all those things out of outlook you might as well just use
outlook express, so I guess you'll never consider it. But that doesn't
change the fact that outlook is just plain better. That's why oe is free and
outlook isn't. You get what you pay for. But in the end all of this does not
matter anyway, to each his own.
