Re: using the right tool for the job!

[Steven Rosenstein]

I am on a Lotus Notes system.  I received four emails, each with what appeared
to be a large "non-mergeable" file attached.  There was no explanatory text in
the email body as to what these attachments were, and each was assigned the name
"att.unk".  Each was summarily deleted, as I never keep email with unsolicited,
large, "non-mergeable" files.

What did I miss?  I know one thing I certainly did not receive was the irony.

Actually, no, in this case the method of distribution was part of the
point I was making....  I guess irony doesn't go very far south of the
border.....

repeated?  there were four parts.  all four arrived once each in my own
mailbox.  If you received multiples then your MTA, or one upstream from
it, is in really bad shape....

Hmmm....  I'd swear I've said the same thing myself once or twice.....  :-)
