Why is this and is there a way to fix it? <br /><br /> We use Exchange Server 03 on Server 03 with clients using Outlook 03.

Where I work, they had it on internal only but eventually enabled it due to employee demand. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.64872-976002 Fri, 15 Jun 2007 13:54:04 -0800 birdherder
