I am aware of this, but OE and Entourage are still Microsoft products,
no matter who was hired by Microsoft and no matter what they did prior to
their arrival in Redmond.
I realize the hip thing to say is "I use the best tools no matter who
produces them" but some prefer not to use products, even free ones, from
Microsoft... Just my meaningless commentary on the matter.

Anyone who has scripted for one can switch to the other very easily,
