Dear Vanagon Friends-

You have queried for help on your VW vans, and hopefully from time to time, my
wee lil' brain has burped-up the factoid you needed about spark plug gap, tire
pressure, or fuel line. Now, I need your help.

If you know how to set up MS Outlook to be my gateway to the internet/e-mail,
I would be forever indebted for your help. I love being on the Vanagon list,
but like most folks, I am overwhelmed by the volume of e-mail. I need to do
something. Something to do with Microsoft.

I use Outlook for Scheduling and Task stuff, and I want to set it up to dial
in to my AOL accounts, screen, collect, and deliver my mail. I have futzed
with it for many expensive hours, even going so far as to use the Help Menu,
which Microsoft anthropomorphized into a scary paper-clip with HUGE eyes. I
successfully changed the Help Assistant to a small dog, who resembles Underdog
enough that I am surprised there wasn't a law suit. Nonetheless, the dog
couldn't help me.

HELP PLEASE. It's a toll-free call, and I am going to be in my office today
and tomorrow. Spend 15 minutes and be a hero. If others are interested, I will
capture the instructions and post them on my site or to the list, if bunches
of you are interested.

Thanks for all, and happy motoring,
