Usually when I get some overbloated M$-Word "doc"ument I try to make
the sender attent to the nuisance, ask him/her to please send further
dispatches as text or at least as text-readable MIME-QP (though already
this is ridiculous with English text), and not to join unsollicitated
"attachments" with eMail.
There are some stubbornly stupid mail senders who do not want
to react, not to speak of to learn. So I want to retaliate after the
-n.th attempt of being friendly (and having suffered).
The worst offenders (and bloaters) seem to be (i)Mac-plus-Win/Outlook
users, and *all* are using M$-Word. What I'm looking for is something
that really makes working them hard when I send mail to them.
There was some talk of employing "//" in a specific way, for instance
to confuse Outlook. Does it work ? And how ?
Note well: I *do* want to be identifiable as sender - that's one of the
points in it -, and I look for some gadget that would make it hard to
simply trash my mail to get around the problem - I want some "educative"
hard labour (of their gray cells) to be needed and certainly some work
time to be wasted, on their side to get out of it: very well destructive
in that way (not in the virus way, but seriously nasty nevertheless).
Any idea ?
(And it goes without saying that I keep private mail as such, too.)
