It seems like CE is playing the same game as Microsoft.  We are running
Microsoft Mail to our EXTREME dismay and cannot get any support from MS
regarding MSmail and A/UX.  I called them up and talked to their support
people who kindly informed me that Microsoft will not be porting their
client software to A/UX until they can get a server running under A/UX
first.  Talk about bone jaring stupidity!

Companies like this should realize how many customers they will lose
from their lack of support.  Making the MS Mail DA and INIT 32 bit
clean should not be too difficult (after all, they *did* follow the
Apple guidelines, *didn't* they?).  Also, I really don't care to waste
an A/UX machine by making it run MS Mail in the background.  That is what
my old Pluses and SEs are for :-).  Anyway, I hope CE does a better job
than Microsoft at this type of support (lord knows they can't do any worse)!

Mike.
