Being interested in technical things I originally posted a comment that 
stated, simply for the record, that as I use Outlook at work, some emails 
were now odd/difficult to read.

I assumed that others on the list would be interested in this from a technical 
point of view and indeed a technical explanation was then forthcoming.

Fair enough.

In response I was told by one user that I was abusing my employer's facilities 
(the road to the libel courts are littered with such throw away remarks) and 
that in any case, I was no worthy of being on the list and also, when I made 
a one line (admittedly pretty lame) attempt at humour, ended with a smiley 
too, that I was blustering.

Dear oh dear.

When I was at university I gave up on computer science partly because the 
class was full of bores who went on in that way.

Well, I'm still going to keep on posting, occasionally, in Outlook when at 
work. I would prefer not too but yes, it is *far* too hassle to do otherwise. 
Life is just too short I am afraid. If you haven't worked that out yet, then 
I think you need to get out more.

I am sorry if a few people find multipart emails difficult to handle, though.
