Hello Kell,

As a Leeds school we have Leeds learning Network. E-mail is through
web based Microsoft Outlook Exchange both on IE and Oregano 2. You can
indeed receive HTML e-mails and attachments.

Unfortunately, you cannot easily reply to an e-mail, though you can
create e-mails, and with attachments.

If you can find a way of getting Exchange to open a window to reply,
you've cracked the problem!

Best wishes
