3) people don't wan the crap
4) you have no control
5) it breaks things

I don't use the program any longer, but would like to know the pitfalls
of
it. I warned a friend of mine and she in turn would like to do the same
with
some of hers, except I don't remember what exactly is wrong with it, if
you
don't mind.

That's ok, Heather, we're on your side
I didn't mean to start an avalanche.
Just wanted to warn some friends, who offered 'it' to me.
Hope that calms the waters.

Harry.

"This email is being returned because the recipient uses plain text
only. Delete that cr*ppy program!!" (nah, not tactful enough, lol)

Since like yourself I read all mail in plain text I don't really know or
care what crap gets sent as html as I never see it. OK, very occasionally
I'll view a specific e-mail using html and even perhaps allow it to
connect to the net so as to display an image but only ever for certain
known and trusted senders where the html and images serve a real purpose.
I know who these senders are but even then only switch to html if it is
obvious from the plain text that I'm missing something by not switching to
html.

Thank you George, David and all.

As David points out:
The messages that you send, contain adverts for Incredicrap,
that you, the sender, cannot see.

I nearly lost control tonight
I had to RA to a client's machine (Remote Assistance) - and they couldn't
send me the necessary invite. It took four attempts to get it right (during
which I discovered that said client used Incredimail) - and when I wanted to
send myself a file at the end, it took 25 minutes just to persuade the
blasted application to attach the right file to the email!!
GGGRRRRRRRR!!!!! - OK, it was dialup, and over an RA link, but there's
limits to even my patience!

OK.....now I am in trouble, lol. I just told a friend why Incredimail
was bad and quoted Noel and George. ROFL!!

She couldn't send joke pictures with OE and found she could with
Incredimail. I wondered why I never got the pictures to go along with
the words. And she is on the antivirus ng!! Bad girl!!

Not to worry, Heather, she probably doesn't know who they are.
I made it a rule, never to reveal (quote) the source of my info by name
outside of this ng. What would be the point?
Hope you had sweet dreams.

"Incredimail Problems" rendered 212,000 hits and they run the gamut from
"having a hangnail" to "having an anal tonsilectomy....without anesthetic."
