Re: hijacked threads - this is the correct fomat for new mails

Joe,
At first, I wanted to write "you got me!" as my answer ...
but:  I was just asking a sensible thing and as I am not a native speaker
of english language I couldn't express myself as I would do in german
(my mothers tongue)- so far about your complaint about my "ridiculous".
OK - we are talking about different things - I think !
I don't want to change people about the way they are using Outlook or
whatever mailclient they are using.
I am using the Midrange-List as a good and *fast* source of information
and I am trying to give something back to the "community" whenever I
know something to help out with and/or when I have the time to do so.
I often find simple questions being asked inside those "hijacked threads".
Like this I find them days or even weeks after they have been posted.
I just wanted to let people know that there might be something, that
they don't use like they themselves wanted to. (If they knew about)

I hope this makes sense, and I hope my english is understandable.

Regards from Germany,
Philipp

Better do it the other way as John and I and others ask you.

You're asking people to change the way they do things to make YOUR Life
easier.  This is unlikely to happen, especially when you tell people the
way they do things is (I quote) "ridiculous".

Unless Microsoft enhances it, those who use Outlook aren't going to
change no matter how stupid you tell them they are <smile>.
