No, I'm sorry, the specialization idea does not float. E-mail has become as popular as car driving. I agree you don't need to know mechanics nor combustion physics to operate a car. Nonetheless you must invest tens of hours to learn how to drive it properly, many of them only to allow fluid interactions with other drivers, as we all share roads; red lights, yield signs, school buses and all. Many people will spend many more hours dealing with e-mail than at the wheel but hey, they can get away with half-garbage e-mails so why should they bother? I mean, what's *so* hard about spending 10 hours once to learn to properly use something that you'll enjoy every day for the rest of your life? -- --====|====-- --------================|================-------- Patrice Levesque http://ptaff.ca/ mutt.wa...@ptaff.ca --------================|================-------- --====|====-- --
