To enable the developer tab, you go to

File > Options > Customize Ribbon > ✓ "Developer"

Exit this window and go to a new email, and then select the developer tab. From within this tab you can modify the fields.

These vendors know, that over a period of time, the client becomes totally dependent on their product, that they (vendors) can dish out any bullshit, and be rest assured that the client would HAVE to lap it up .. To an extent, the client himself is to be blamed for this..

What's amazing, though, is that customers accept this crap the first time. Once the vendor "owns" them, sure, they feel trapped. But at some point, this insanity goes on and people make themselves trapped voluntarily!
