One of my clients used a curse filtering software that
stripped text out of word documents and other attachment

I confess I've been guilty of throwing in a minor curse word from time to
time - definitely not the way my Mama (GRHS) raised me. ;^) I am a fairly

then have people poll that server from their normal e-mail client or a
different one.
- Get the digest version, zip it, then manually distribute to
Hey! My first opportunity to complain about something as a private
citizen rather than as the Moderator. (Wheee.)
A lot of this would be eliminated if people weren't so lazy that they
refuse to trim the e-mail. Another example of how quoting the entire
