What they said and then some!

The file that I received was also corrupt.  It came into EudoraPro as
"info.exe" but wasn't readable so it also came in as what looks like
encoded ascii so I got the d__m thing twice.

As someone who is trying to convince the community that they are a
performance oriented company, ignoring some of the obvious issues regarding
system performance is not the way to start.

I sure hope that this software that Joe is trying to peddle is aimed at
eliminating the wasted processing power that is currently being used to
process junk and ill conceived mail.

By the way Joe, as the editor of the vendor list at
http://www.3k.com/directory/hpvend.html I would be interested (well, not
really but I find that I must be unbiased and if I list Carolian then I
must list you) in receiving the information about your company (name,
address, phone, fax, email, web, products with short descr.).  Please email
the information to me directly at [log in to unmask]
