Borking Outlook Express

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the swedish-is-funny-on-the-face-of-things dept.

Johannes writes: "Swedish Gnuheter has a story on Nick Moffitt arranging with his X-headers in way that makes it impossible to read his email with Microsoft WebTV or Outlook Express. Moffitt states: 'The folks using Outlook Express have locked themselves into a limited subset of the information that can flow over the Internet, and are blaming me personally for not limiting my transmissions to that outlook-centric subset.' See also original email (in English). Immoral? Or just right?" Looks like Moffit's "Who, me?" attitude is tongue in cheek, but the creative header changes here are hilarious.

    Who gives a damn about reading his email anyway. This guy should get a life.

    It's Scottish, actually. It was originally "Moffat", but you know how names change over time. Clan Moffat now officially recognizes some several dozen different spellings.
