anti-phishing mode shot down by mgmt

[Jeff A. Earickson]

Outlook is totally lame in this regard.  Cut and paste?  Gimme a break.
The boss is smart enough to reveal the headers and do the cut-and-paste,
but I want a complete unmangled copy of the message.  Pine (what I use)
allows you to reveal the full mail headers and then forward or bounce
the whole message elsewhere in one piece.  With Eudora, you open the
message, click the "blah-blah" icon, and forward.  Outlook: Yuck.
