Not sure if I'm the only one who noticed that Outlook 2003 displays HTML emails differently after IE7 was installed. I use Firefox as my daily browser but finally installed IE7 to investigate an interop problem with one of my sites. I recall some install option about ClearType and I'm pretty sure I said 'ok'. Big mistake. On my Samsung 940B monitor there are colored fringes and blurryness around my text in IE7 and OL2003. So I did a Google search and found this page : http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/03/03/543181.aspx . After reading it I disabled ClearType in IE7 (it's under the advanced tab) and whew! Everything is readable again. I'm sure ClearType is whizbang technology but it doesn't work on my system.
