outlook options

whenever i have to try to change an option in outlook, i feel like i'm entering The Pit Of Despair. as soon as that options window opens i know my day is ruined.

i won't find what i'm looking for. it's in there, buried 6 levels deep in some inappropriately named sub-dialog. but i won't find it. and if i do, i'll wish i hadn't, because it'll have unintended side-effects that i really won't like.

i'm in a twisty maze of passages, all alike.

and there's a grue lurking in here somewhere. ugh.
