I used Microsoft Exchange Client (which has now been renamed Windows
messaging to avoid confusion with Microsoft Exchange server) for a
while and found it a very competent and able program. It did not
appear to have and x400 capability as standard, or maybe it was just to
hard to find! As with all programs that are capable of many things,
the user interface could be less than intuitive, and though it was
capable of sending formatted messages (with extended characters and
bold facing etc.) it had difficulty with the relatively simple task of
limiting line length to 72 characters so that other users with simple
mail readers could read your message. Instead of indenting the text in
a reply, it would put it in a different colour - OK if you are using
Exchange to read it, but no use to everyone else.
For the last few months I have switched to Internet mail which is part
of Internet Explorer 3.1 which is better for GP UK. There is
interchangeability between these two programs, so that you can import
and export address books and messages between the two. The advent of
programs like Winfax Pro which integrate fax messaging with the Email
client, and the x400 capability might persuade me to move back.
