Good thing you're not an Outlook user so you can keep using your serif 
font!

Do the people in your local government not realize that they will need to 
expand their disk storage greatly to compensate for the larger font?

Wow. The local government here in the UK that I work for, despite being in 
the middle of the deepest cuts for two decades, have decided to use our 
precious IT resources to.....enforce 14-point Arial as the Outlook font 
for all users, just so that partially-sighted people can be sure they can 
read our emails. Amazing. I'm pretty sure eye tests and glasses have been 
available to all since 1946...yet here we go.

It gets better, though. They have also decided to change every single 
publication and communication that comes out of the council to 14-point 
Arial, even to the stage where council tax bills will no longer be able to 
display the address correctly in the envelope window. Which means they 
will have to shell out for special envelopes right across the board with 
bigger windows. Great money-saving sense!

Rant off.....we all love execs as much as we love users :-)

This document should be read only by those persons to whom it is 
addressed. If you have received this message it was obviously addressed to 
you and therefore you can read it, even it we didn't mean to send it to 
you. However, if the contents of this email make no sense whatsoever then 
you probably were not the intended recipient, or, alternatively, you are a 
mindless cretin; either way, you should immediately kill yourself and 
destroy your computer (not necessarily in that order). Once you have taken 
this action, please contact us.. no, sorry, you can't use your computer, 
because you just destroyed it, and possibly also committed suicide 
afterwards, but I am starting to digress...... 
The originator of this email is not liable for the transmission of the 
information contained in this communication. Or are they? Either way it's 
a pretty dull legal query and frankly one I'm not going to dwell on. But 
should you have nothing better to do, please feel free to ruminate on it, 
and please pass on any concrete conclusions should you find them. However, 
if you pass them on via email, be sure to include a disclaimer regarding 
liability for transmission.
In the event that the originator did not send this email to you, then 
please return it to us and attach a scanned-in picture of your mother's 
brother's wife wearing nothing but a kangaroo suit, and we will 
immediately refund you exactly half of what you paid for the can of 
Whiskas you bought when you went to Pets At Home yesterday. 
We take no responsibility for non-receipt of this email because we are 
running Exchange 5.5 and everyone knows how glitchy that can be. In the 
event that you do get this message then please note that we take no 
responsibility for that either. Nor will we accept any liability, tacit or 
implied, for any damage you may or may not incur as a result of receiving, 
or not, as the case may be, from time to time, notwithstanding all 
liabilities implied or otherwise, ummm, hell, where was I...umm, no matter 
what happens, it is NOT, and NEVER WILL BE, OUR FAULT! 
The comments and opinions expressed herein are my own and NOT those of my 
employer, who, if he knew I was sending emails and surfing the seamier 
side of the Internet, would cut off my manhood and feed it to me for 
afternoon tea.
