No, I keep a list of all the Outlook users I know, but right now,
there's only two people in that list. I figure, if I get a mail asking,
why I'm sending my mails in a text attachment, I add them to this list.
Actually, I also have some of the following:
save-hook "~f [EMAIL PROTECTED]" =Leute/Firstname-Lastname.gz
fcc-hook "~C [EMAIL PROTECTED]" =Leute/Firstname-Lastname.gz
in my muttrc, defined for everybody in my alias file. This makes sure,
that sent mail goes to a archive on a per user basis, as well as being
able to save incoming mail from a user to this archive. These hooks are
automatically build from the alias file and the plan is to add a flag in
a comments of the alias file for every user that uses Outlook, so the
list with the send-hooks would be build along. Haven't come around
doing that, yet.

My problem with that approach is, that I would have to remember to
invoke that macro for those Outlook users. Which isn't really
accectable to me, because I would simply forget it or not care enough to
invoke it even if I remembered. So I sought for a way to make this
transparent, hence my overriding of the "y" key, which is usually
associated with <send-message>. And appart from breaking MIME (which
isn't a problem with Outlook in the first place), it works quite well.
Okay, this was verbose. :)
Cheers,
Viktor
