One list member has asked me very politely if I could cease this practice and another occasionally sends me a few return emails stressing a particular french obscenity.

I would like to comply with the polite request and would hope that the French sender will cease his five-lettered attack upon my mailbox.

My problem is basic: I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET RID OF THESE ATTACHMENTS, or I certainly would, if for no other reason than to lengthen the life of the one member's "m" "e" "r" and "d" keys. The "e" problem on this individual's keyboard is particularly susceptible to early demise, since (s)he uses it twice as much as the "m" "e" "r" and "d" keys in this context, unless, of course (s) he uses cut and paste, in which the CTRL and C keys will self- destruct.


If it is any consolation, "merde" in French is much less strong than the translation in English. You could say it to your grandmother or on TV, and is more approximately equivalent to "crap" than "s**t."

Hope you work out your attachment woes, unfortunately I don't know Outlook at all.
