For what it's worth, you're response was pretty rude, and worse

Goodness, is all this crap going to two newsgroups?

It's so bloody annoying when people delete all the previous headers
and messages and we don't know who they're replying to or for that
matter what it's all about:o)

Microsoft Windows Mail? What the hell is that?

Is that a rhetorical question? If not, where have you been since Vista was
launched?

Trying to steer well clear of it - Vista, the reincarnation of that

The M$ app that dare not keep its name.
Perhaps they should have stuck with MSIMN, Microsoft Internet Mail and News.

Some people still use news readers that are incompatable with HTML, probably*
why it's still frowned on for Usenet.

Some people would put that the other way round - HTML is incompatible with news
readers. Usenet and email were designed for text-only communication, and there
are so many gimmicks and special effects available elsewhere for those that
want them that there is a need to preserve something plain and simple that
works on any equipment and doesn't gobble bandwidth.

A particular annoyance is advertisers who send me messages full of HTML with a
note at the bottom suggesting I should equip myself with news or email software
that can handle it. Who do they think they are? My software is my choice, and
if they want to put their message across it's in their interests to do it in a
manner that will make it clear. I'm certainly not going to change software that
I'm comfortable with for the benefit of advertisers.

It's a plastic waveguide. It would guide waves of air I suppose.

For Brian we make exceptions, due to him having to use a screen-reader,
it's
a little more difficult when you can't see.

Yes I know. I was just getting him back for moaning about the fact that one
of my messages inexplicably was in html.

My point is that when I post one (ONE!) message that these people don't like
they immediately jump on my back. The sensible thing would be to leave it
alone and see if it keeps happening. If so it would suggest that some
settings want altering at this end, so comment would be fair enough. But
these people just sit there and pounce when there's a single post that they
don't like, even when it comes amongst hundreds that they don't object to.
That's clear evidence that they enjoy pointing out the wrongdoings of
others. That's a personality weakness that gets on my tits bigstyle. There's
a lot of them in the world, these prodnose types. Unfortunately many of them
are incapable of doing a proper job so given that plus their innate
prodnoseness they get jobs as traffic wardens and so forth. When will people
learn to live and let live?

They try it on because lots of people don't know enough about computers and
they get taken in. It's just another little con.

There's an outfit ringing round at the moment, introducing themselves as
'CIS'. Now 'CIS' is an Inland Revenue thing that the self-employed have to
take notice of, so calling themselves that is a con. There's another one
that rings up and says that they are 'The Halifax', but they're nothing to
do with HBS. And don't get me started on the way the disabled are conned
when they need a battery for their mobility device.

Of course I do. But since he had a go at me so I had a go at him. What's
wrong with that. I belive that the disabled should be treated equally. I
don't want to get into this, but I think you'll find that Brian doesn't want
to be patronised by you by your assumption that the disabled can't speak for
themselves.
