Well...you've got to understand that everyone is out to get MS cos' it
is popular. Which is why all the hackers shoot for MS
first...publicity...hitting the big guy...who cares if JoeBlow email
applet gets a virus if 20 people are using it.
As for the newbies who send out all the email...be nice cos' you have to
realize they don't understand what you already do...but they will when
they suddenly realize that they're getting tons of junk mail cos' their
email is now out there and a bazillion spam engines are collecting it!
At LEAST stick the names in BCC to help save your friends who prefer not
to have their names sent all around the world for eternity! ;-)

You would think that it would have dawned on someone at M$ to include a
>>>>>>>washer in Outlook! :-O <shrug> Even MS Word if it is used to
>>>>>>>write
e-mail. I don't think it should it should be too hard to do! I get those
sometimes, one of my friends who had just bought a new computer one day
thought it would be great to share some mail with me. At the time I was
on dial-up. One and a half hours later, Outlook FINALLY finished. :-O
There were the jokes, with a gazillion cc:'s on it, (with the >>>>>> as
you can
imagine) and quite a few movies! I quickly told this person NOT to send
me that stuff. :-(
