Improve the “Find and Replace”
The “Find and Replace” can be improved a little by:
- Change these dialogs to default to expanding the search
- Move the dialog if it is covering the found text
- Change the message box to say:
- 0 records found in the field ‘SupplierID’ for exactly ‘Olive’. Would you like to expand the search to try “like ‘Olive'”? [Yes] [No]
- 0 records found in the field SupplierID? Would you like to expand the search to all fields? [Yes] [No]

Image Size
When I put pictures into an Outlook HTML email, they are much less quality and significantly larger, even though Outlook reports that they are 100%.
OutLook Time Zone
Outlook currenly uses 12 AM to 12 PM for All Day Events. This creates problem when it is for different time zone.
It would be useful to use additional time zone feature in outlook to display local time zone without changing time of operating system. Either you can change all day event to local time zone setting.
One best option to handle with this problem is storing all time zone using UTC(Universal Cordinated Time) so that there is no need for any other time settings and appointment can be rendered using local time zone.

PS: Likewise similar options would be useful in the CC and BCC fields.
