Software
EditPad A solid text editor Here's a free text editing program from Belgium that makes a fine replacement for Windows' crummy Notepad. Although there are similar programs that are more feature-laden,
EditPad is a solid, crash-free program that loads quickly. It offers filters, text conversions, access to last 16 files opened, MAPI

Attachments, redirecting (a message comes back - but you want to try again and get rid of all those headers - automatic!); able to edit messages and subjects for easy finding before you file them in a folder. Terrific!
