Nope. That's why it's best if you can get Outlook to work.

UAAR: User assumes all risk. I suppose I could have done UAYOR
I'm using Outlook to compose this exciting message. Let me be a little
verbose for now so we can see how the wrapping works. Who knows what
horrors we may continue to find. BTW, Outlook 2010 sucks, and is even
worse with the Enterprise Vault add-in. If you use the add-in, Outlook
often goes into a mode where it takes up 50% of my PC. And it crashes
often ans what not. Removing that add-in has made life much better.
OK, let's see how it works.
Reviews please!
