While I have never received any of those infamous solecitius emails last
year, I still find many people continue to have the need to share their
most intimate files with me, and now this. I can setup a procmail filter
to kill this, but I still have to go through the trouble of receiving and
processing mail I never wish to read. It is unfortunate that a
proprietary software manufacturer has refuse to acknowledge or repair what
clearly is a fundimental design flaw in their software or to give their
users the freedom to fix this on their own.
