Re: "but" Re: Need firewall protection,

Hi Tom -

See who wrote that bit above? "but"

Every once in a while I get posts dated 12/31/69 from some random poster name. Today, I got 8 or 9, all from "but" even though I know it was Jim Franz.

Am I only one who gets these? Ain't computer tech grand? 

Your email client is busted.

The subject of the email is:

Subject: [PCTECH] Need firewall protection,
        but have to LiveUpdate w/o firewall.  What to do?

where there is a line break and a tab between "protection," and "but".

Look at the subject on your replies. Your client is improperly terminating the subject at the break and then misinterpreting/skipping the rest of the headers.
