Hi Dave,

I just installed the plugin: it works, after some minor tweaks:

First, I have '*.exe' in 'wildignore' which prevents me from trying to
edit executables :). But this conflicts with 'globpath()'; a trivial
change would be:

if strlen(globpath(substitute($PATH, '\\\?;', ',', 'g'),
'cscript.exe', 1)) == 0

Second, wouldn't it be better to expand 'g:outlook_javascript' as follows?

let g:outlook_javascript = expand('<sfile>:p:h') . '/outlookvim.js'

This location can be overridden anyway, but I think this is a better
default for users (like me), installing everything in "%HOME%\vimfiles".

Btw, thanks for the plugin! Works great!

cu, Adam.
