IncrediMess?

Wow!  Perhaps I am just getting too old for this game.  It just strikes me
as IRONIC that I am reading a security thread on this ListServe posted via
IncrediMail FREEWARE, Advertisement and all.  What ever happened to
listservers requiring plain text postings, or stripping HTML content?
(nostalgic).  Even the "Paid" version of IncrediMail is horrid.

Maybe things have changed, but over the years, I've seen so many users of
this product send such "mangled" emails that non Micor$oft clients couldn't
read them.  And I hate to even think about the number of SPAM lists these
users have gotten on as a result, that I've ultimately had to attempt to
block.  Long ago, we nicked named it "IncrediMess".

I guess I am at a bit of a loss as to how or why a network "security" person
would run such a program.
