Sounds like you were using a broken version of Outlook Web 
whatchyamacallit.

Exactly my point from my most recent email.  Exchange doesn't require 
any understanding of what's going on.

What really got me the one time I was using OWA was that it rejected 
Mozilla outright in one version, linking me to the Internet Explorer 
download page....  I'm thinking... "Uhh... I'm using the web interface 
because I'm NOT using Windows!"
