Why?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I have a question, when you’re switching from using Outlook Express 6 to Outlook 2000, why does Outlook refuse to import message rules that are incompatible with older versions of Outlook? At least I think that’s what happened, when I imported the message rules, all of the “mail from specified account” rules didn’t import, and then when I tried to create those rules in Outlook it let me, but warned me that they would be incompatible with Outlook 98. Now I don’t want to argue with my laptop, but if I’m using 2000, why would I gave a rat’s ass if the rule wouldn’t work in 98?

Isn’t that sort of like getting a warning at your local US bank that your US money may not be spendable outside of the country? Is that even relevant?

    We spent the weekend visiting with Angela’s parents, but also got to spend quite a bit of time getting history lessons. On Saturday, despite the 90 plus degree heat, I spent part of the afternoon watching a Civil War skirmish re-enactment. (Yeah, I have the sunburn to show for it.) It was quite fascinating to…

    OK, so Brian commented that I’d probably get much more use out of a full-blown Pocket PC like the iPaq than I would a PDA. I tend to agree with him on that, and that’s really what I’ve been leaning toward if I decide to get something like this. In fact, I can think of…
