]]> Comment on Outlook 2007 - broken html rendering by António Melo http://transientis.com/2007/05/outlook-2007-broken-html-rendering/#comment-65 António Melo Mon, 14 May 2007 21:03:41 +0000 http://transientis.com/2007/05/outlook-2007-broken-html-rendering/#comment-65 Thanks for the reply. Yes, I thought also about using Thunderbird or some other program. The problem is that if I then have some problem, I can't go to the Help Desk ask for help. Help Desk must carefully define what are the supported tools, otherwise they would be doomed :) Replacing it for Outlook 2003 could also be an option, although the company will eventually have to upgrade to outlook 2007, so probably the best is to make things work there. Unless Help desk decides to support Thunderbird or other email client :) Thanks for the reply.

It has some support for exchange, and it is way better than WebMail access. Also, I would love some comments on how that works before I try it myself! :) Here's a starting point: http://www.mcgill.ca/files/ics/Exchange_Mozilla.pdf But of course the simplest thing to do would be to remove Outlook 2007 and install Outlook 2003.

I may try to connect the router to the other, but didn't try it yet. The idea would be to have the first acting as firewall, DOS detection, etc. And I could disable the wireless feature. And also, Iz could connect a computer through the LAN cable to this router. The FON router is very basic. Just a place to connect the cable from the modem. The reports say no usage yet. I haven't also yet used other user's FONs. Well, someone got me a free FON router (thanks, Hugo :), so it was easy to try it. I may try to connect the router to the other, but didn’t try it yet.

That's really interesting. Ok, ok, I gotta ask this first: what have you done with the other wireless router you had bought? And, do you have any reports on other people using your shared connection? And what about using the FON network while you're on the move? Have you used that possibility? So you went with the FON solution, hu? That’s really interesting.

For some months now that I'm using a FON (http://www.fon.com/en/) wireless router. It has 2 SSIDs, one private with WPA enabled and other opened. You may also specify the bandwidth to share. Or even get some money, if someone uses it (though, not sure if this is legal with your ISP). Cheers, António ps: welcome to the globalization :) Hi Paulo
