Ask Slashdot: Spoof an Email Bounce With Windows?
An anonymous reader writes "One cool feature I used on KMail years ago was the ability to generate a spoofed email bounce for any given message I had received, which claimed delivery failed because of an unknown recipient. While this doesn't exactly align with expected behaviour from a mail client, it was a useful way of easily getting off mailing lists (automated, or manually created by freaky acquaintances!). This is something I really miss, so I'm wondering if there are any mail clients for Windows that provide similar functionality?"
Or he could just fucking Google it like a literate non-helpless person.
Sooooo now email is a function of the OS you use and not a client Application? FFS where the hell does slashdot find these retards, this used to be a place where at least most people had some semblence of knowledge even if opinions were heavily slanted.
It's not a technical thing, it's a philosophical thing. It's like wanting to use a Mac and wanting to highly customize your UI on it: why would you do such a thing? Macs are for people who buy into Apple's entire UI philosophy, not people who want to change it around (like adding virtual desktops, etc.); they're like appliances that way. Similarly, Windows is for people who buy into MS and their corporatist philosophy.
To make a lame car analogy, it's like buying a Hummer and wanting to turn it into an eco-friendly vehicle, or buying a Ferrari and wanting to turn it into an off-road vehicle.
Why don't you call Microsoft support and ask them. After all, isn't this one of the things you pay for and they are supposed to provide stellar support with?
So what you are really saying is that you don't know the difference between an operating system and the applications that run on it.
