I do not send it twice. I send it once in HTML format and that is it.

True! It's a piece of MS crap for software called Outlook Express and has
very limited capability like all MS crap has. I did check it and it does not
allow jack. The only option it has is for replies to reply in the format
sent. Well sort of. It uses either HTML for messages sent in HTML and MIME
for all others. This is typical for MS crap for software. It does not have
any options anywhere I can find for 7 bit ASCII. Even then there does not
seem to be a way to dictated what format to use when I originate an e-mail
for different uses. I can only select to orinate in HTML or text (MIME.)
Then some idiot comes along and asks why I HATE MS crap for software and
Gates in general! I would not have any problems if I used Linux instead of
this MS crap. Unfortunately, there are many services I use on the internet
that REQUIRES stupid crappy IE 4 or 5. I have installed Star Office but
elected not to install it's mail and browser capabilities because of this
crap on the internet. If someone can make these idiots use software that
will work with any type of browser and OS, then I would not have problems. I
have written e-mail to these idiots and begged them to write stuff this way.
Many of them do not even have software that will work with a MAC. They are
idiots. Often I have to have a special version of software to work with NT,
because the idiots cannot seem to write software that will work with both
WINDOZE and NT! So how can anyone expect them to write something for a MAC,
SUN, Sparc, DEC, or Linux?????
I had a completely MS free computer until within the last two years. There
was not ANY MS crap on my system except for some BRUNs and a few other minoe
things like QBASIC and GWBASIC. But today I am forced to use this crappy MS
s**t. It is broken, craps out and is prone to viruses, trojans, worms and
many other undesireable crap. This is because of Gates' brainwashed idiots
that wrtie programs and services I need. I am not about to pay hard earned
cash for decent software for an MS crap for operating system. I might try
installed the SO e-mail capability and see how it willl work since I have
changed over to Yahoo. I still get e-mail from Netzero and cannot seem to
send mail out from it unless I am dialed up to that service. I have finally
figured out how to send all mail via Yahoo now and not have to connect to
Netzero.

It is with this stupid crappy MS crap for software.

Simple, switch to Linux and I won't have any problems. However, to many
idiots on the internet require IE 4 or 5 to use their services. IE 4 or 5 is
not available for Linux and if it were, I still would not corrupt a good
Linux system with any NS crap for software. It would defeat the abitilites
of Linux and run slower than molasses at twenty below zero!!!! I just can't
quite see spending $16,000,000 for a Cray Pi super computer to get some
decent speed and resources for WINDOZE!!!
