I'm going to throw up

Nope, we use :shudder: Lotus Notes :throw-up-in-mouth: for e-mail.

Send emails back using Wingdings and Webdings (be sure to switch between them within each mail), and include a lot of pictures and a background-MIDI file. And use the blink tag whenever you want to highlight something (instead of bolding or italicizing it) If you can't beat them, join them. If he can't join you, beat him :suss:

Where's the <marquee> tag when you need it?

I have unilaterally BANNED Comic Sans in the office. There is a stern talking too, and the waggling of an admonishing finger, for anyone caught using it. (Repeat offenders get an interview without coffee).

Speak softly and carry a big finger.

Sounds awfully like a Euphemism!

I read all emails as plain-text problem solved.

Sounds like he found a good way to avoid being contacted.

What's wrong with a proportional font? I've taken to doing that. If you want fixed alignment for things (which is quite rare) you can use tabs, and it's a lot prettier.

Gary Wheeler

My coding style isn't amenable to using a proportional font.

A couple of questions:

The hardware engineer has a home office? Now, that's cool! :cool:
Some email clients (like Thunderbird) allow you to set per-user incoming mail preferences. Maybe you could set his prefs to "View mail as plain text"?

While I do know a hardware engineer who has an office in his home, that isn't the case here. The guy I'm talking about in this post is from the Home Office, if you know what I mean. Unfortunately, the e-mail client in this case is Lotus Notes. They include all sorts of buttons and knobs, but I'm afraid they're all tied to the "boot SkyNet" module.

I see my attempt at humor was misinterpeted. I should've used a smiley instead. :)

Now *that* would make me throw up. :-D (I remember Lotus Notes - we used it briefly when EK decreed it be the corporate standard, then switched to Exchange department-wide, with a server side bridge to Lotus Notes). /ravi
