Is there a way to have Word open automatically when clicking Reply to an email in Outlook Express? This would give the ability to include all of Word's formatting features and such when replying.

Going to File/Send To.. is good for creating mail, but what about replying to a message?

Outlook has this feature. Guess Outlook Express does not.

If you set your OE to Rich Text (HTML), it will give you just about all of the Word formatting.

I can make bullets, indent, bold, underline, italize, put a line across the page, and change font / color.

I can't make jumping icons but then I don't want jumping icons because if I did I would use my Incredimail account.:lalala:

HTML email is a source of many of the exploits and vulnerabilities currently "the bad guys".

Stick to plain txt.
Far less vulnerable...... bad HTML code can't execute.
Email don't have to look pretty at the expense of getting whacked!
