LOL!! I guess it isn't wise to mess with what Chairman Bill decrees... We have a friend who swore up and down that his email app (either Outlook or OE, can't remember which) =couldn't= be changed to send plain text or =not= automatically quote back entire messages. When we spent a weekend with them I asked him to show me his email app, poked around in the prefs, and demonstrated to him how to get both changed. About a month later he said his PC "crashed" and the expert at the computer store said he needed to get a new one -- so he got a new Dell and the problem came back... and he couldn't remember what I did... sigh. (I'm pretty sure the older PC was OK with Windoze deleted and reinstalled too, but Chuck was convinced it was too damaged to recover.) -- Selah! BWms -= Claiming that the Macintosh OS is inferior to Windows because most people use Windows is like saying that all other restaurants serve food that is inferior to McDonalds'... assuming you classify McDonalds as a 'restaurant'... =- ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
