Response to last week's article was interesting. While most of our experienced admin readers didn't find anything new, John Weiss writes, "Yeah, I've done this a thousand times or more. Maybe I can print this out and give it to my users and avoid doing it another thousand times!"

I'm not positive, but mentioning that installing the Designer & Administrator part of Notes has a significant impact on the money owed to IBM/Lotus. I'm guessing the powers that be might be somewhat panicked at the thought of all their users with full blown installs of Lotus Notes on each of their machines. In reality, I guess the chances of users actually having access to the Notes CD is rather slim but still; being aware of the ramifications might make computer life better for all concerned.

And Irwin Mayer asks, "If I don't want to use Outlook Express for email, can I use Notes as just an email client?"

Irwin, that's what this article's all about.
