[Leica] Outlook Icon

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Fred,

Thank you very much for the response.  I was hoping it was a cosmetic 
change, without any operational consequences.  You confirmed that.

I do get the monthly MS updates, so it may very well have been introduced 
that way, and I was just slow in noticing it.

Thanks again.
