Microsoft's Outlook patch

2000-05-19 09:50:02
This page describes the Outlook patch in development:

The access timer ("Provide access for {1,2,5,10...} minutes") is a 
great idea.  I wonder where they came up with that one.  :)

However, their restriction on the Send method call leaves a lot to 
be desired:

If a program uses the Send method to send e-mail, Outlook now displays a 
dialog box asking users whether they wish
                          to allow the operation. Users can't choose "Yes" 
until five seconds have passed.
