Consensus opinion required - was 'more worms'

[Igor Gueths]

Hi Greg. Yes pretty much I believe it was their idea. All they want to do is combine everything into one i.e., html into e-mail, internet destroyer bolted into w98. They also think winblows is so smart, recognizing <aHref> and formulating urls into hyperlinks? Wow! Impressive! What if I want to read the text of that link and not your crappy rendition? Then what?
