Alright!   Yeah. ;o)  Well since I got back on, and since I have you
attention.  I ran across something weird.   I was talking to someone
who was helping me out with a website.  his mail program X-mailer
showed Mozilla 4.7 [en]C-CCK-MCD NSCPCD47  (Win95; I)

I know the CCK part means someone was tweaking on their browser,
since, "CCK" means "Netscape Client Customization Kit Version 4.7"

The weird thing is that when I tried to reply to him, nothing was
quoted at all.  I am assuming (maybe wrongly) that he has the "Send
messages in HTML" box checked. In order to reply to him I had to
resend the message (Forward) to myself and then nitpick the parts I
wanted to quote manually actually it was formatted all screwed up and
it is by far the worst email I have ever had to reply to in my entire
life of email-ing.  I told him how to edit his settings and send only
Text out to me, but I wonder if the message wasn't a bug, ie. that I
couldn't quote it back to him without processing it, and doing a lot
of extra work.  Normally I'd delete an HTML, but this is from someone
who I am interested in what he has to say.   And considering that were
beta testing, I thought it was important.  No joke.  No quoting at all
whatsoever.

Hit reply and nothing at all. Just like I have a new message with
everything he said removed.  Kinda made me mad at first, because I
knew that meant I had to totally re-edit what he sent.  Sure... cut n
paste was the solution, but should a message be that much trouble--I
didn't think so.  I can post the message, but it will show up normally
after it's forwarded. I only hope the guy takes my suggestions and
sends in both HTML and Plain TEXT.   Anyway.  looks like I've had some
bad luck with mail lately ;o)
