Outlook -removing outlook express

[Mike]

I have a client who uses Outlook (and prefers it). On occasion, he
says, Outlook Express becomes the default mail client and has to
change it back to Outlook..

Can Outlook Express be removed from his system w/o causing any
problems with sending/receiving/storing email in Outlook??

Thanks,

Mike

Replied in m.p.outlook - if you need to post to multiple groups, it's best
to do so all at once in a single message (separate the NG names with commas)
so that everyone can follow the thread. Thanks

I posted it to the m.p.outlook group first, then noticed that replies
were very slow in coming on that ng. Found the m.p.o.general ng
later, and it looked to be more responsive - so posted there.

I don't typically hang out here, but do on the m.p.vb ng's, so didn't
know which group was read, and which wasn't.

I do know the diff between multi- vs cross-posting, but find it
strange, folks get flamed for cross posting (even to what appears to
be similar interest groups) and now I'm being asked to ... crosspost?
this may sound sarcastic, but it is an sincere confusion.

thx.

And btw, I see I was wrong in my assumption that the mpo group was
slow in responses... whoops. I'll fade back into the woodwork now
and help conserve the bandwidth. =)

Crossposting (posting a single message to a small number of relevant groups)
is infinitely preferable to multiposting (posting individual messages to
each group), because everyone can follow the thread, and you aren't asking
people to duplicate others' work. A lot of people sub to multiple groups (I
do, obviously). The people who yell about crossposting when it's only to a
small number of relevant groups are either ignorant as to the difference
between the two, or are just irritable cranks and should be ignored. Give
'em the link I posted if you want to eddificate them.

Of course, if you crosspost an Outlook-related question to .outlook,
..win2000.active_directory, and rec.arts.i_love_kittycats, you're gonna get
flamed. But you knew that already.

This issue of being told not to crosspost is for little Napoleans that have
nothing better to do then whine about Elba. What is a real pain in the ass,
is to try to read a response to a question somebody has posed and see that
the replyer says, "Posted elsewhere; Don't crosspost." Now in my book that
is worthy of a slap in the face.
