-1.  We (meaning you ...) have enough work here without making this project
a dumping ground for generic Outlook annoyances.  A distinct Outlook addin
would be fine, though.  I have to say I've always ignored the New Mail icon,
and could never figure out what it thought it was trying to tell me -- it
seems to appear and disappear at random.  If someone invested a year in
figuring out what it's doing, it would be a shame if installing *this* code
ruined their hard-won mental model <wink>.
