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 ! Bye for now, Stuart.

thank you. Actually I have been here a loooong time.. about 25000 messages worth. :) I scan the list and *try* to keep up, it is hard. I skim through the list from time to time and use whatever box I am at. This one happens to be a win98 box in the office I keep mostly for billing. Since my K-mail has been fritzed out the last few weeks, I use outlook on this one. I have no love for MS, but right now I like them better than KDE folks. :) I actually think DEP is of the rude narrow-minded type that leads us all to the pits of hell with intolerance. my flame. Bill btw: norton 2002 does a decent job of keeping virii in check... this box gets infected often.. but it never spams. ! -----Original Message----- ! From: Chris Geske [mailto:lims@newnorth.net] !
