In fact, I bet Notes is worse. At least Microsoft has a habit of botching moderately well-known protocols (something that is easier to reverse-engineer), rather than doing something of their own. It's probably harder to integrate Linux systems into Notes environments than Linux into Exchange systems. Notes has a very inconsistent interface -- you really need to be trained in order to use it very well. It's a big document-centric scripting `groupware' environment. E-mail is just one of the things it does, but it does it really badly. The technology is interesting, but it's implemented poorly. I've ranted about some of the deficiencies before, so I won't list them again... -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ Black holes really suck... / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) [ Mike Hicks | http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ | mailto:hick0088 at tc.umn.edu ] -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
