Cats - how to get rid if them

Actually I have two but don't restrict them or need to do so because they don't go wandering outside our garden anyway.

It's called free choice.

they go in my own garden and fastidiously bury whatever they produce.

Nope. They have always been dissuaded from that and don't even try it any longer.

You keep small rodents?

A great deal. One example is that people who keep pets tend to live longer.

All you need is a nail.

Mummy, Mummy, why am I walking round in circles?

Shuttup or I'll nail your other foot to the floor.

All together.... OH, NO I DON'T!

Steve, this might sound like a dumb question, but what kind of shops?

I rarely go shopping ...

Well, your posts - and only your posts - have a paper clip at the side and I get the message that: "OE removed access to the following unsafe ttachments in your mail: a new life...dump Windows!.dat"

What's that all about?

It looks to me like part of signature with a correctly formatted signature separator.

Perhaps your news software is broken?

I expect you're using Outlook Express. It's very broken.

Outlook Express. Hideously broken. Get a proper newsreader that understands that every line beginning "begin " is not actually an attachment.

I have a perfectly valid signature, which OE chooses (incorrectly) to recognise as an attachment. In essence, OE is broken.

Attachments may be encoded using the ancient (but valid) 'uuencode' system. A uuencoded file starts with a line commencing with the word 'begin', followed by a space, three octal digits and a filename. Following lines have a rigid format and are terminated by a line cinsisting of the word 'end'.

OE jumps to the conclusion that ANY line starting with the word 'begin' introduces an attachment, even if NONE of the other criteria are met.

Don't be daft. It only happens with one poster.

Mary

Wrong.

There is no attachment to this email.

And there wsn't one indicated. It's only with Bob Eager's, as I said before.

Ditto.

They are both quite right, Mary.

Outlook Express is broken.

Microsoft admits it and offers workarounds rather than fixing the bug.

Dunno. This is a Microsoft free house. I don't giving lying convicted monopolists money in exchange for garbage.

So should it be:

Nonetheless, I'm right. I got the formatting a tad wrong. Since I won't have Gates's festering garbage in the house, I was doing it from memory.

It only happens with the one poster who feels he is making a point in that OE is borked by using the begin bug. NOTE :- I in no way condone MS's laziness in not sorting this known bug but do feel it is out of order to deliberately use a known fault to influence peoples choice of newsreader. BTW I have used Nowortya ,Agent and Mozilla news in windows and xnews in Linux and yet (despite its faults) I keep coming back to OE. I do however have it set to only receive plain text and I NEVER open attachments.
