Defeat is a state of mind. No one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality. To me, defeat in anything is merely temporary, and its punishment is but an urge for me to greater effort to achieve my goal. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path leading to success and truth. --Bruce Lee -----Original Message----- From: Felicity Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 11:17 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: ? about MS Mail Thanks again for this clarification John.
