What's worse is not only did I forget to switch to plain text - but out
stupid mail server sticks some marketing junk on the end as well....

Like anyone on this list would go to MIP anyway :-)

I'm not sure why you'd expect derision for that question.  I'd be more
likely to give it to you for using HTML email. :-)

Zone Alarm is fine for a home user on the Internet.  It's certainly
better than putting an unprotected Windows box out there.  I'd
personally prefer a DSL router or a *nix box running a "real" firewall,
but ZA is fine for most people.

Who's the "everyone" who say that ZA is crap?

I'm not sure I can ask this question without derision, but here goes... 
Zone Alarm, is it really as crap as everyone makes out.... or is the
usual posturing by ill-informed...?
