(sigh) that used to be the case before the advent of gmail - gmail specialises in 'You Do Not See What You Get', so most gmail users are not subject to many of the annoyances we face - for example if a guy does not trim his post, gmail hides it - so no gmail user gets to see the untrimmed part. In fact I am working on a thesis to show that one cannot use gmail for a prolonged period of time without significant brain damage. -- regards KG http://lawgon.livejournal.com Coimbatore LUG rox http://ilugcbe.techstud.org/ _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
