I'm still using Microsoft Outlook 2000; I have yet to find a better PIM (that meets my needs). I don't think it's fair to use 'Brand X' because 'Brand Y' has shortcomings. That's like riding a bike because you don't like a certain car model; in this situation, you're only hurting yourself. Go with a product that works for YOU. Enough rambling -- here's the tip: in Outlook, let's say you needed Zeke's snail mail addy. Fire up the Address Book, select Zeke, hit CTRL+C (to copy his info to the clipboard), but DO NOT exit the Address Book. If you do, the information won't stay on the clipboard. Don't ask me why; this has just been MY experience. That's the REAL tip. Need more? If you paste (CTRL+V) that copied info into a new message, it'll paste Zeke's vCard attachment. So first, paste to a text-only field (like CC). Then, copy THAT text to the clipboard, then return and 'paste' in the message body; this time, it'll be vanilla text.
