Actually, on second thought. I shouldn't have to sniff this out at  
all. It's up to the client to know if the server supports the version  
number required by the client. Outlook should detect this and refuse  
to use EAS. This is what I'll implment, you'll have to let me know if  
this works, since I don't have an Outlook client to use to test.
