Fun with lexicals
Editing a DCL command procedure 1000 miles away can get frustrating on a slow telnet connection… and saving early & often has its’ advantages.
I’ve been listening to the same album all day. Very different from what I usually listen to but it seems to fit what I’m doing today.

New work music to start the day off…

Are Read Receipts evil ?
I use MS Outlook for work-related e-mail. Have done so for the last year since it became a “corporate standard” around here. Html is for web pages, not for e-mail. Luckily, with a little effort, I can use Outlook without resorting to using html in e-mail messages I send other people.
I can’t find a way to prevent html from working in e-mail and still use Outlook. Over the last year I’ve been able to tweak it so at least it’s ?mostly harmless”. But now, apparently, I’ve run across something I can’t control.
Read Receipts in Outlook don’t appear to have an on/off switch. And worse yet, I have no way of knowing if one has been sent except by accident. It doesn’t appear to be logged anywhere. Very un-user friendly. This verges on “evil”. I haven’t yet decided where, on the scale of “software evilness” this resides.
