Outlook, whether you like it or not, is one of the most popular mail clients in a business environment.
http://advisor.com/doc/16674 65 percent, according to that impromptu survey. It also has quite a home following, being bundled with things like MS Money and MS Works. For better or for worse, a ton of people (possibly the majority) use Outlook. Who decides what standards are? Oh, that's right, the majority of USERS. You can have all the IEEE guys come up with all the standards they wish they could program; if no one adopts them, the standard is bunk. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric (Deacon) Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2005 11:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [hlds_linux] Oh no a new subject line!

Right. I'll look for a paragon of standards compliance and best practices like Outlook in order to offset your own inadequacies because you're too inconsiderate (no longer just ignorant) to do so yourself. -- Eric (the Deacon remix) _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
