Dear Darryl,
Could you check if Outlook has a option to cut the text at the word that
have a letter at char 72. You now have it at ca. 100 and some of us have
a screen that is 80 char width. And that doesn't result in something
thats that readable

If you have a hub then you need to now the speed of the other network
card. The hub wil use the slowest speed and mode. Or you could replace
it with a switch. There are cheap version with 8 entries. If you can
borrow one, then that would make diagnostic some what easier.
