It's either "Solaris 2.8 and 2.9" or "Slowlaris 2.8 and 2.9" it is not "9" and "10" and I don't care what Sun's marketing people think. m$ thinks it 0wns words like "word" and "office", but I refuse to surrender the language to them. Yeah, futile, but I still have my principles. One is that marketing shouldn't make decisions for me :). I understand your point about name calling, but just because someone's chosen a misappropriate name for themselves doesn't mean I have to honor it. If someone wants to legally change is name to "Lord and Master" I'm likely to call him "id10t" :). Corporations have their spin, I have mine. > > m$ people at work are always having to state how they're showing their > > stuff because LookOut apparently doesn't do decent mail handling. > > "how they're showing their stuff"? I don't understand. Let's say I'm getting something from J. Doe there would be something like: well, what I think.... or well, what I think... or even ### WELL, WHAT i THINK...### with several other variations. Those that don't do that are worse because I need to run diff on the email. Quoting and paragraphing is all hosed to hell. > > The proper solution, of course, is to not use LookOut. > > Absolutely.

How do evolution, thunderbird, kmail, etc. handle quoting from a GUI MUA? ciao, der.hans -- # https://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.AZOTO.org/ # The only way for a woman to change a man # is if he's wearing Depends[TM] - der.hans --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
