[Am-info] "Stop procrastinating or MS buys this one"

[mike stephen]

Put your reply in ASCII not PDF.  PDF is too
complicated for 9 out of 10 windows users.  Also make
sure your text has an extension of TXT.  Your first
attachment prompted me for a "open with" dialog box. 
again 9 out of 10 users would not know what to do.  
Better yet, put your reply inside your email rather
than as an attachment.

Never underestimate the knowledge of a windows user.

>>>Re the Tunney Act, I assume that U.S. citizenship is required for senders of comments, so that counts me out. Or does it? How can they tell who's at the other end of the SMTP chain? Will they look up my name, or my domain name? If the latter, who's to say the message wasn't sent by a U.S. citizen using my e-mail system? Who's to say the message wasn't sent by me using a U.S. citizen's name? How would they even be able to tell that a real person sent the comment, even if the domain name were registered to a U.S. person or company? All in all, the whole setup appears rather less than watertight to me. Remember, these considerations apply equally to pro-MS messages.
