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!
