Brian,
Our IT dept. would go bananas if anyone downloaded any utility file from the
Internet and installed it on a company computer on our network where it could
potentially muck around within Outlook in unknown ways. How do we know any
such utility does not contain data-mining spyware? For that matter (please
don't take personal offense; none is intended) how do we know whether Brian
Tillman is just a real, nice person trying to be helpful, or an alias being
used by some not so nice person who is involved in phishing/spyware and is
posting these comments to entice potential victims? Also, (no offense
intended toward www.slipstick.com), what do we really know about
www.slipstick.com? Who are they, and how do we find out if they are what they
claim on their website? Unfortunately...

That's certainly reassuring; hope I haven't raised anyone's flaming wrath
with the prior message; MVPs are certainly impeccably trustworthy and I
greatly respect and support them. When you click on just the link,
www.slipstick.com, you don't first see their info page at
www.slipstick.com/slipstick; you just see a lot of available software and
information links. Might be worth considering adding the MVP logo to the top
of all pages to alert new visitors like myself that it's an MVP's site...

Just do some research on your own. You will quickly discover that
slipstick.com is widely regarded as the most authoritative source for
Outlook information anywhere, even among the Outlook developers themselves.

Sue Mosher began and maintained that site for many years but recently (2-3 yrs. ago) sold the site to MVP Diane Poremsky, also a long standing and respected Outlook MVP.

How can you be sure about anything you read on the internet? :)

Anyway... if you can't install software, then the answer is that you need to
remove each one individually. Outlook does not offer a way to do it on
multiple messages. You could write a VBA macro (assuming you are allowed to
by your IT dept), but as trusting as you are, you'd need to write it
yourself, without help as you can't trust what anyone says on the
internet...

Not sure if someone is an MVP? Check the list at
https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/communities/mvp.aspx. While not all mvps
are listed here, the vast majority are.

(For others who can install 3rd party tools... while its prudent to be wary
of some sites and software, you can trust well known developers such as
Mapilab and Sperry software... and always, always download from the
developers own site - not from a 3rd party. Pirated software might be cheap,
but it can also be infected with trojans... the cost of recovering from
trojans can cost more than the software would have. :) Google is your
friend... and if you aren't sure about someone - google is your friend.
Generally you can trust the advice of anyone who has longevity here and on
the internet).

BTW - if you use the online community interface to these newsgroups and a
user has an MVP icon beside their name, they really are an MVP as it's added
by Microsoft when the user posts and is logged in on the online interface,
Vista's Mail or the new Live Mail client.
