I wonder whether or not I'm simply kidding myself or if there truly are positions in IT that aren't primarily focused on supporting users' efforts for using Microsoft Outlook.
I've essentially never had to support that.

I do. Starting my IT career on Solaris meant that nearly all of the BS that Windows people tend to face, I had zero of. I had smart users, a great OS, stable systems, big time RISC hardware with loads of resources, etc.

lol sorry can't help you there because my users all have a hard time with it too
Honestly it's not always the users. Outlook, especially how it handles images, can just be screwy.
what are some example problems so i can check?

What I think is going on is there are users for whom I apparently haven't installed this registry key; thus, even though they see pictures, recipients do not see them. Some images aren't in the signature though, they're just in the body, which I don't think really matters since and image in an E-mail is just an image in an E-mail.
No users have yet been able to articulate clearly whether the following is true: "You see images in the E-mail you compose, but the recipient doesn't see the images."

High level posters lying about RAID safety to trick unsuspecting newbies into losing their data. SW is a hell hole of people trying to hurt each other.

So, we used to get updates on Saturday, giving them 2 days to test the production system before the bulk of their customers started using... and now THIS....
What EHR or EMR is this?
athenaNet from athenaHealth
That's an EMR I don't want since they take 5% or more of the net company with the bulk of your earnings. Although they do all the billing for you.
yeah - no they really don't. They claim that they do.. but our billing dept is every bit as big as it was before we moved to athenaNet, back when we did 100% of our own claims work.
athena claimed a massive reduction in back office staff, this has been completely false. As mentioned, our billing department is the same size as before athena, we manage all incoming faxes by hand because their auto system was screwing up and closing future scheduled appointments by assigning recently completed similar appointments to those future slots - considering them completed, etc.

You seem to have a lot of issues I never run into with outlook.

How often are you embedding images into HTML E-mails? Also, do you have a minimum of 3 images in your E-mail signature?
