Because there's a strong correlation between being an illiterate  
moron that doesn't care about presentation of material, and Outlook  
usage, with Outlook's defaults encouraging creating hard-to-read  
messages.

Because the MUA has more holes than a Swiss cheese and it's a  
breeding ground for email-borne worms.

Because it does its best to hide headers and tracking information, so  
that when one asks a customer to send a copy of the bounce/spam/ 
whatever that is causing a problem, the required information is  
missing from the response.

Because Outlook implies Exchange, another Fine Microsoft Release that  
causes loads of junk traffic to be spewed onto the Internet.

Want any more?
