Curt,

Not completely true.  I had done this and my original messages were
going out fine, but as a few on the list pointed out, my replies were
going out as Mime multi-<something>/HTML.  I'm not sure how I got it
taken care of, but it took several days of tinkering around to get this
'wonderful' Lookout client working correctly.  I had a choice of mail
systems to use at home, and Lookout quickly got removed and Pegasus was
installed!
