RE: [OT] [Cooker] Re: Outlook

[Koloseike, Jason]

Why is it after this lovely post, there are many emails from a few
select posters that I can't read. It's not like I chose to use Outlook, 
and as a Linux user, I know Outlook sucks. If I choose to view this
mailing list at work, I have no choice, Outlook is the only Mail client 
I can here.  

SO PRETTY PLEASE KNOCK OFF THE "FRIENDLY EXPLOITS". THEY HAVE NO PLACE 
IN THIS MAILING LIST. If you want to annoy someone with this join a
Microsoft mailing list ;)
 
In case you're wondering I'm now getting the current error message 
when expanding mail with a red flag next to the message:

Can't open this item. A follow up flag must be 100 characters or
less.

I agree, please let's stop this new fad before it gets out of control.

Hmm, but is this legal?  I mean, I'm often writing emails with 8bit
characters like ä,ö,ü etc.pp..  Wouldn't this header setting break those
messages?

Very cool - I'd been looking for an 'Outlook sucks' page, but couldn't find one.

There is another way:

messages with headers like this:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=unknown-8bit
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=X-UNKNOWN

, even if solely iso 8859-1 characters will give 

'This message uses a character set that is not supported by the 
Internet Service.  To view the original message content,  open the 
attached message. If the text doesn't display correctly, save the 
attachment to disk, and then open it using a viewer that can display 
the original character set.'

Most messages like this seem to come from Pine.

PS. Check my mail headers :-D.
