First, some outlook emails are sent base64 encoded - I have no idea why. You 
can copy the gibberish text and paste in an online tool like 
https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/encode_decode/ and it will decode it for 
you.

So I did just that, and the email had the following line:

        Refactor time. 😊 You should be able to swap out those SEEK function + 
!FOUND() calls with a single INDEXSEEK call.

followed by the complete text of Paul's message, including the full program 
text. IOW, there were 115 characters of actual new message out of 7792 
characters total, which is less that 1.5% of the message. Nothing personal 
against Richard, but rather Microsoft, and their idiotic default of top quoting 
and including the full text of the message being replied to. 

Sorry, but wasteful practices piss me off, and I just wanted to vent.
