"Slightly" annoying? "Gratuitously" rude? It would be gratuitous -- without
apparent justification or cause -- if this was a new issue. How many times
have the rules (no HTML, no pointless verbatim quoting) been
reiterated here? Twenty? Thirty? How many off-topic msgs have been sent
dealing with the consequences, such as that virus that somebody was dragging
around a few weeks ago? How many minutes have been wasted checking
those stupid attachments for content? Carl *very courteously* discusses this
in his welcome.msg (to the CCAT forum)! It's a total PITA. The real problem
is a memory leak in the EXEcutors who perpetrate this.
