Poppycock!  There is no excuse for mailers that mung the contents of
messages they deliver.  The fault is not with "computers", but with
incompetent software designers and programmers, of the mail systems,
operating systems, network systems, or any combination of these.

Don't accept CyberCrud as a necessary evil -- fight it!  Beat on your
system administrator when the system screws up your data.
