<quote> To turn on HTML in your Outlook/Outlook Express On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Mail Format tab if on Outlook or the Send tab if on Outlook Express. </quote> (read: turn on the vulnerabilities) Its disturbing to see big companies trying to undo all our customer educating (read: using a cluestick) - it doesn't even meantion why us big government/IT Department/whatever types (read: those of us with a cluestick) don't like HTML mail..! I'd like to see anybody that can figure out how to apply the new crimes bill to spammers - to also use it against companies with pages like this to sort it out - <quote>Start getting everyone's email address now - in every way you can. </quote> *sigh* back to reality. // gets out the flameproof jacket ;) m
