I've had a lot of answers, some in private, some via IRC and
some on the list.  Thanks to everybody.

One thing I explained badly was the existing tool; my friend
uses Outlook Express, not Outlook.

Judging from the feedback I've had, I've suggested to her that
she give thunderbird a fly.  With a bit of luck, she'll like it
and will be more prepared to start to move away from Windows.

Cheers, Greg
