Fair play, good point, well made and a sentiment I'd echo myself (but not
very BOHFish of you, Dave). However, sometimes you do get people like the
marketing manager that blech and I used to work with[0] who, when our
15-strong development team complained that they couldn't read his missives
since they were word attachements, suggested that the company shell out
for 15 WMS Office licenses rather than have him save as text. Now that
*is* clueless, surely?
