MSOutlookit

Discreetly browsing Reddit at work has perhaps never been easier -- if you know the right tools to use.

Reddit reminded users of this Monday, when it tweeted a link to an innovative program that allows users to browse the popular website with a skin that makes their computer screen appear to show their Microsoft Outlook email.

"Browse reddit without your boss knowing!!" the tweet reminded users, sending them to MSOutlookit.

Peter Cottle, the designer of the program, first unveiled his covert creation four years ago in the form of a Microsoft Word document, MSWorddit. It was later transformed into MSOutlookit.

When the mock Word program was presented, one Reddit user declared Aug. 1, 2011, "The most unproductive day in history."

And both programs are still available online, with users able to enter and save specific subreddits in their faux inbox as if they're folders. When they click on a subreddit's post, it opens like a regular email.
