Steve,
I was concerned about .zip file because I get them all the time. I should have looked at the list of extensions Jim listed more attentively. So I guess, in this regard, Outlook 2003 is not much different from 2002.
I wonder if there is a feature list of Outlook 2003 that are useful that 2002 didn't have. As I said in my initial message, I am basically "forced" by Publisher to upgrade to 2003. But I would like to know if there are other benefits to having 2003
Thank you.

>>When you are saying "won't let you see attachments", do you mean that you don't even know if a message has an attachment? Or Outlook 2003 will reject an email with .exe, .chm, etc. attachment? But this is definitely a hindrance, in either case.
