Sorry. You've heard that old phrase "goes without saying"?
Well, I didn't say it. (smile)
Where Microsoft and error messages are concerned, I consider
it par for the course that what is reported to the user will be a
miserable distortion of whatever actual error occurred. But just the same,
the user will know that *something* has gone wrong with their mail.
Obviously the fewer FP's the better when dealing with confusing error
messages.... :)
