Hey Stuart. Hope all is well. I completely agree with you! His antics are not only childish, but to put it mildly, highly unprofessional and annoying. This is not the place! Everyone on the list is here to resolve an issue, accomplish certain tasks, share our knowledge, and learn. He should be removed from the list. A lot of people use Outlook, not necessarily because it's their application of choice, but because they may receive these e-mails at their workplace and Outlook is what is in use. Whatever the reason, I think EVERYONE should do what you do and delete his messages as they arrive. He's not contributing to the goal and purpose of the list!

Ah, Bill, you must be new to the list. You must also be an MS Outlook/Outlook Express user. Some time ago, dep got a bee in his bonnet about receiving virii from Outlook/OE users, and has begun a personal crusade to rid the world of these most proliferate of virus delivery tools. To this end, each of his messages is carefully crafted so as to confuse Outlook/OE. I always see his messages in red, with a little flag next to them in the message list, and the content of the message is hidden in a difficult to access .dat file. However, here in the office, the messages work just fine in Groupwise. I can't blame dep for getting upset about the number of virii in circulation, but I don't agree with him deliberately excluding a large portion of this list's readership with his childish antics. I gave up even attempting to read his obscure messages long ago, and now have a rule directing them straight to the Deleted Items folder. No doubt I will now get flamed for calling a fellow list member childish. My asbestos undies are firmly in place; bring it on !
