Agreed. But then how do you reply-and-quote to an email that someone else
*did* post in HTML format? Outlook just sucks in this scenario... you
can't even convert to plain-text and quote! !@#$%^^&* microsoft...
I only joined this mailing list a couple of days ago - is it usual
for threads to wander so off-topic? (I believe I've got the
answers I needed for my original questions, plus a few answers to
questions I didn't ask.)
Not quite this far OT, usually. And it appears to be mostly my fault this
time :-(
The list isn't usually this busy, either.
FYI, on the occasion that you post a question and get *no* replies -
that's a solid indicator that no-one here knows the answer. This list
doesn't generally see any negative responses, and that confuses some
people at first. Re-post after about a week, and if that goes nowhere ask
on the forum as well.
Sorry for making your introduction to the list a bit hectic,
That's no problem - it's nothing compared to some of the newsgroups I
visit sometimes (such as sci.electronics.design, which is a political
discussion group with occasional mentions of electronics). And as I
say, I've got the answers I was looking for for now - the next stage is
up to me and my virtual machines.
