Hi Phil,

You make some good points, however using a basic HTML takes away functions
that the "normal" Gmail offers. However Microsoft Exchange and Exchange
Light (the accessible version) also has some of these same issues. However
I'm not looking at only the email portion. I'm also looking at the other
applications supported on the education version. Such as the live
collaboration piece, online storage, web page creation, etc. that varies
between Microsoft Exchange and Google. Have you had any experience with
these? I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has used these other features
that are used through the educational portion of these applications.

Thanks,
