Hi Dave,
I am currently finishing up the last of the localization work  
required for 0.7.2.

Once 0.7.2 is shipped my next priority is to focus on the Outlook  
2003 bug
that you reported.

I have a version of Outlook 2003 from KEI support ready to install  
and start
testing with.

The MIME serialization format of our Chandler emails will need to be
tweaked a bit to accommodate Outlook 2003.

I expect to have a fix shortly after 0.7.2 is shipped.

The first official release containing the fix will be 0.7.3.

However, using a milestone build of Chandler will get
you the change sooner.


Thanks,
Brian
