like i'm going to tell a potential costomer (one that i've been chasing for
MONTHS) and who finally sends me the spec that i've been practically been begging
him to - i'm going to tell him to get a better mailer and send it again

what i did do was extract it with outlook (once i'd configured it and got pop3d to
