I definitely haven't been the only one.  Besides, making sure the body of a
message stands by itself is easy and common sense, especially when you're
the one asking for a favor.

That's a load of crap.  Different isn't always wrong, but it sure can be.

You are confusing incapable with unwilling.  And yes, not making it as easy
as possible for those you are asking a favor from is exhibiting less than
the maximum of intelligence.

I use Microsoft Outlook Express.  Whether you like it or not, it's a defacto
standard.  Get over it.  You're being silly about placing too much
importance on some information in email headers that obviously isn't fully
guaranteed to be correct.  I have no problem reading PICList messages
without relying on whatever information you think those headers are supposed
to tell you, and apparently most other people here don't either.

But I'm not.  I chose to ignore your whining.  Get over it.

It's funny you call me a bully, but seem to have gone out of your way to be
belligerent towards me lately.
