[dba-Tech] Outlook macros missing

PITA, I have 1/2 dozen add-ins that I like. If Outlook gets disturbed it
disables them. 

I finally quit using one that was really cool. In one click it cleaned all
of the garbage out of an email when replying or forwarding. Especially
useful for messages from AOL addresses ;o) It was originally programmed for
O2k and just couldn't make it more than a month in O2k3 with out disturbing
the master. It must have done something to a macro that I wrote and added to
the toolbar because it isn't there anymore. I don't use it that often so its
just as easy to use the menu system as to keep adding it to the toolbar
though.

Thanks Jon -- I've never had this happen to me.
