Wait a second.  Maybe the page is designed with something Microsoft-centric,
for example Active-X.  In that case, of course nobody does it better than
Microsoft.

As for Outlook, do you know that attachments in Outlook (even a simple text

people say Outlook is buggy and virus prone.  Now let's see if you can live
without Outlook."
