Heh. Reminds me of some great contact info I saw on a site once which I loved so much I saved it: "Do not expect a reply if you're too dumb to turn off HTML email. Your mail will be destroyed as unread. Do not expect a reply if you send email with VCF, winmail.dat or other attachments. Your mail will be destroyed as unread. Do not even bother sending email created by MS Outlook or any emailer dependent on MS IE/Outlook technology. If you are that lame, you have no business contacting us anyway. Your mail will be destroyed as unread and your email address will be permanently blocked." A little harsh, perhaps, but I wish I had the nerve to say it to some of my clients... -- best wishes Paul http://www.paulbradforth.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
