I fail to understand you purpose in life. If you can not be helpful then
just shut up because this trash is not constructive.

And everything in life has to be totally and completely constructive.
Don't laugh.  Don't eat food that has taste.  Think only constructive
thoughts.  No education should be in any way pleasant or entertaining.
Yeah, right.

Some of us appreciate Robin's wit.  If you don't, procmail him.  If you
don't see his attempts to help people in straight forward ways as well as
entertaining ways, then don't read his email.

Dear Everett, Marty,

Thank you very much for your quick response. We regret to inform you,
though, that we do not acutally sell "Purpose 98" as a plugin for MS
Exchange or Outlook. However, we highly recommend using Microsoft's powerful
ascii-editor "edlin" in its stead. This might possibly solve your problems
with non-RFC-compliant email messages.

The MS hotline, which is only $3 /min will certainly help you out with all
the necessary information.

If you should have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact
us again.

Yours truly,

Robin S. Socha M.A.
CEO German Web Force

Since this mailing list is hardly being used for its intended purpose, Robin's
purpose has been to keep me entertained. Thank you, Robin.

What's with the Subject? Robin is not good. If Robin were good, he wouldn't be
any fun.
