RE: Editor for Outlook

["Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com>]

Just as a security follow-up: Unfortunately, it's too easy to edit an
Outlook message that's already been transmitted or received.

But fortunately, it's *not* as easy to edit an Outlook message's
"Modified" property -- so at least you can tell if someone edited it
after the fact.
