Jacques,
Make that IT department 2, users 0 (I'm in the same boat). We recently = migrated to Outlook and Exchange. Pity too because Oracle was ready to = make one very sweet deal to get us on Collaborative. But of course it = has "Oracle" on the front door, so certain politicians would not hear of = it.
PS: I don't see those odd characters and I use Plain text.

I don't know if it's really a solution. I remember that some people = using plain text e-mail programs didn't like messages in HTML format so = I always sent e-mails to the list in Outlook's "plain text" format = (Format menu -> Plain Text).
However, on freelists.org that causes the e-mail to show up with =
"quoted-printable" characters.
See here for some mention of "quoted-printable" characters at freelists:
http://www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/50.html
(and this:
http://www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/52.html
which says "use of Outlook isn't allowed at FreeLists" - I think that =
means that "if you work at freelists you're not allowed to user =
Outlook")
If I choose to format the Outlook e-mail as HTML (Format menu -> HTML) = then the "quoted-printable" characters go away. What I would like to = know is if the HTML e-mails from Outlook cause a bunch of HTML tags to = appear in these e-mails for some of the other readers of this list. = Anyone?
P.S. This is Outlook 2000 SR-1 (9.0.0.3821) P.P.S. I've been arguing with our internal IT department about using = another e-mail client besides Outlook but so far it's IT department 1 - = Jacques 0.
