    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:

      I've been exchanging e-mails the last couple of days with a hardware engineer in the home office. He uses Comic Sans as the font for his e-mails. In bright blue. X|

      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).

            I read all emails as plain-text problem solved.

            Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

                  I don't know which is the worse :wtf:, using a typeface like Comic Sans or using a proportional font for editing code.

                  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.

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

                          A couple of questions:

                          1. The hardware engineer has a home office?  Now, that's cool! :cool:
                          2. 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
