There is nothing wrong with MS Outlook express. You need to stem
your hostility towards Microsoft and recognize that they are the dominant
desktop (something like 90%) and you need to get used to it and stop
fighting.

I know this is off the current subject., but some of you are sending
these e-mail's to the list that appear as attachments and not text.

This is even more annoying than HTML Mail.

The message appears with an empty body and attachments that have
names that start with ATT....

This is annoying. Many people wont read your messages because
opening attachments is a security risk.  If you want your postings
read, please use plain text e-mail and not these stupid ATT
attachments.

(flame off)
