Dan, that's an excellent point IMO which I hadn't given that much
thought to.

Dan, again I think you have an excellent point there but I have to
admit that since your message was a long one I was happy to see
the "Dan" you ended your message with. If I had forgotten for a second
who wrote the message I didn't have to scroll to the top. Still don't
get me wrong--it's not a big thing at all for me. Regards, Len

I couldn't agree with your general point more.... But (one assumes that you are meaning software when you talk about 'recipient' in
the above sentence) what do people do when their software just doesn't play the game?

The reason it doesn't play the game maybe because its old, maybe because its written badly, maybe because it is written by a
software company that couldn't give a damn about standards. (I have all three types installed on this machine!)
