Hi Joe:

You might want to see my postings to Irwin and his response.  I'm not impressed.

Hello Irwin:

Would you please adjust your e-mail program so that it does not send
attachments to others.  This is becoming a problem for me and others.  I
received 43k worth of attachments to my hard drive with this mornings
downloads.  You sent 3 separate items as follows:

begin:          vcard
fn:             Irwin  Armstrong
n:              Armstrong;Irwin
org:            Centrehouse
email;internet: armstrong@btinternet.com
note:           Ballymena  N. Ireland
x-mozilla-cpt:  ;0
x-mozilla-html: FALSE
end:            vcard


begin:          vcard
fn:             Irwin  Armstrong
n:              Armstrong;Irwin
org:            Centrehouse
email;internet: armstrong@btinternet.com
note:           Ballymena  N. Ireland
x-mozilla-cpt:  ;0
x-mozilla-html: FALSE
end:            vcard


begin:          vcard
fn:             Irwin  Armstrong
n:              Armstrong;Irwin
org:            Centrehouse
email;internet: armstrong@btinternet.com
note:           Ballymena  N. Ireland
x-mozilla-cpt:  ;0
x-mozilla-html: FALSE
end:            vcard

Irwin:

They aren't immediately deletable.  They go directly onto the hard drive
and bypass the e-mail system.  To delete them I have to enter various
folders within the system folder on my hard drive then I have to drag each
of these postings to trash and delete them.  This has happened with others
on the list but they have courteously changed that aspect of their mailer.
I don't ask to receive your attachments just your postings to the list.
There is a difference.  If you prefer to set your computer this way for
business, please do so for business not for your other computer uses.
