Well, the Entourage team has a pretty good track record. They have interesting interpretations or implementations sometimes, but they seem to sincerely want to do the right thing. The world would be a much better place if they'd go upstairs one night and kick the Exchange and Hotmail programmers' butts!

HTML mail has its places, but sending commands to a mailing list program isn't one of them. I'm having a hard time with my Majordomo server because email from Hotmail, Yahoo, the web access to Exchange, etc., is such an impenetrable maze of code that Majordomo can't find the commands! It does not appear to be possible to send plain text with such systems. I sent myself a test message from the University Exchange server a while back (it has crashed again so I can't repeat it) consisting of the single word "test," and the result was a 4K maze of HTML and Microsoft specific code. Awful mess. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
