Microsoft Outlook's security problems have been fodder for everything from third-party add-ons to running jokes by systems administrators.

The most recent versions of Microsoft Outlook are far more secure than older editions of the program. This is great from an end-user perspective, but some new security features inhibit functionality that would be quite useful to administrators and developers.

Programmer Dmitry Streblechenko has come up with an intriguing workaround to this issue -- a programming library he calls Outlook Redemption 4.1.

Outlook Redemption lets you get around Microsoft Outlook's security limitations and provides an additional level of code functionality for programmers. The libraries can be used by any programming language that have access to COM objects, so Visual Basic and VBScript can both make use of them.

Some of the features of Outlook Redemption:
