There ya go, that might be the best solution overall.

Run three or four monitors from a very simple mail program. We used to use a similar setup at the ISP I worked for to answer incoming support mail.

We used PINE, a Unix mail program that's freeware, which served two purposes...

First, it didn't have the ability to handle attachments, so it protected us from virus attachments by default, and two, it was completely reliable. All it did was display text. It was completely configurable, though, that's the key.

Doing this in a Microsoft mail program should be easy enough, just set up a script to automatically forward an incoming mail to mail folders for "screen 1", "screen 2", "screen 3", etc.

Each terminal could then have a monitor and a mouse.
