Must step in here for a second. I'm using Netscape Communicator as my primary mail client, because I happen to like it better as a mail client than, say, Outlook or Eudora, both of which I think are piles of code scrapings.
On the other hand, I don't think I've ever been so bonehead stupid as to "accidentally" e-mail images to anyone, and, being fairly familiar with every major version of Communicator since about 3.7, I can't for the life of me figure out how he's trying to get away with arguing that he didn't do it on purpose.
What I think has gone on here is that he's got both HTML mail (including the "background" misfeature) and "embed images" turned on, both of which, incidentally, I turn off. (I also disable a lot of the other things, and make darn sure my lines wrap at a decent width. Then again, I more or less know what I'm doing, I think.)
Gi'm hell, Glenn. You orta tell him how long you've been online, considering that I'm a noob compared to you, and I have been around for a relative while (longer if you count that CompuServe stuff etc. back in 1987 or so)... Then again, I don't imagine that it would make much difference to that sort of mind.
I stripped out the editorial comments and forwarded the most useful bits (I figure there's no point in anybody besides me being snarky to him in the email I send him for now; if he wants the full effect he can read my journal). Let's see if it helps.
And I did mention to him (responding to the patronizing tone) that I've been online since before the Great Renaming. Either he knows what that is and knows it means I'm a net.old.fart (though not as much so as some of my friends), or he doesn't know but ought to get a clue that his not knowing means that it was Before His Time.
Ahem.
