Ah. That explains the obvious IBM bias of most of your posts. So you are stuck with Notes, a very poor program in my opinion, having been stuck with now for almost 6 years, and we are still waiting on the the reduction in email support staff required that we were promised. In fact, email support staff has increased dramtically since it was first implemented, going from about 175 people to well over 300.

Has IBM finally changed the internal 'database' from the original flat-file to DB2, and that is why you are now touting DB2 as more standards compliant? It is kind of ironic though that while Toyota does use Domino as the mail server, and Lotus does have the Notes client designed specifically to access the Domino mail store, there are more than quite a few Toyota users here in the States (over 32,000) that get their mail via a POP client instead of Notes.

If could really go on and on about how Notes is non-standards compliant, but that would really digress from both this list and the original question.
