Outlook should contain all OE functionality

The differences between these two products(Outlook & OE) never ceases to
amaze me. I would expect OE to be a strict feature subset of Outlook but
there are still things I can do in OE that I cannot do in Outlook.
Newsgroups, of course. But the one that brings me here today is OE's rather
handy View Message Source. It takes a few steps to get there but I don't
mind that. Sometimes it is the only way to safely get at a message content.
Outlook's options do give me the header, but many times I want more than
that. While I trust my security settings to not activate any evil (tm)
content, sometimes I'm just not Happy without a manual scan of the message
source. Any chance Outlook will soon make me Happy?

Your expectations are askew. Outlook and Outlook Express were written by
two distinct groups within Microsoft and are targeted to two distinct sets
of users.

CTRL-F3 gets you there immediately.
