Butch:

Yeah, if you have the file to make Windows 7 run Outlook Express, I'd love 
to see it, and I'm sure others would too.

My problems with Outlook 2010 and Windows 7 aren't so much with reading 
specific types of documents.  Instead, the problems are with the program 
itself.  It runs very sluggishly, and seems to constantly want to sync my 
g-mail folders.  I can find no way to change the syncing process, say, to 
certain time intervals, or to when I log on or off, which I think would 
improve things significantly.
