I agree! To those of you who use Outlook Express (like I do, until I find

another free/low-cost email program that I can use my HTML stationery with),

I discovered a bug that corrupts scripts that are written out in an email.

As a newbie, I didn't realize it until I got "good enough" to read a script

& know what I was looking at.  When an email contains a double slash " // "

with anything written after it, (like anything commented out in a script!)

the word "file" with a colon " : " is added.   Therefore, " // " becomes "

file:// ". 

M$ tech support called me on Sunday & tried to tell me it was an

"enhancement", until I mentioned the phrases: "corrupted email" & "my email

being tampered with".  Then she told me I could talk to a developer for $95!

(I declined)  The next day (today) I received an email from Joey Wray: LC

Quality Assurance Lead, MCSE, at M$, who tells me it is "bugged", the

developers are aware of it, & will be fixed in the future build of OE. HAH!

When I think of all the scripts I was looking at these past few months,

trying to learn...& they are all corrupted!! GRRRR!
