Honestly, I disagree... If it's that much of a pain to craft the
message, that should give better credence to your PHBs to choose a
different mailer/conference program, and LookOut's already a pain;
why do so many people *still* use it?

Dunno about LookOut 2000, but OutHouse Express is at least
configurable as to whether or not quote the original message... I
realize if you check your mail at work, you may not have a choice of
mail programs...

I'd suggest getting a yahoo account & checking your Extractstream
list from there, but I've already demonstrated that Yahoo's new web
interface leaves a lot to be desired... :-(

Well, if M$ would release the source code... ;^>

Lookity here, sonny... I've been running ISP's since before your
grandpa was in diapers... ;-) ...ahem... well, maybe not, but my
work email address get's so much work stuff that it's hard to check
from home, and I had my yahoo account sitting idle (it was for
testing purposes when I needed to check exterior mail routing
problems) so I thought: "Yahoo Account -- Yahoo group -- now I can
check my hobby list at home!" There was logic in there somewhere, but
maybe I'll build myself a new email account at work and switch my sub
over to that...

[MODE="smart-ass"] If you'd checked the headers, you'd known that it
didn't come from my ISP. I'm the only Roger Merchberger on Earth,
google this: "Roger \"Merch\" Merchberger", and you'll find my real
email address & the fact I've been on the 'net for quite a long
time... altho the http://tivo.30below.com webpage I host might be a
clue, too...

Laterz,
