The file is fully self-contained for sound, graphics and animation, which is why it is so annoying that it can't be forwarded as an attachment. Thinking laterally, a simple solution would be to rename it with a different suffix so that Outlook didn't recognise it, but then the recipient would have to change the name so that it would run and it all gets to be too much trouble. Seems strange that it can run in Outlook so there must be an underlying protocol there somewhere. Just for fun I renamed it as HTM and it opened with the background colour and text present as in the *source* details but the graphics & sound were missing. I will play with it some more during my *cough* spare time and see what I can winkle out of it. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 180789 | 2003-10-08 07:11:00 | Normally any sane person faced with an unattachable attachment would simply compress the offending object without further adieu. The advantages of this are numerous. | PoWa (203) | ||

| 180792 | 2003-10-08 20:18:00 | Sometimes these animated *son et lumiere* intrusions are curiously and compellingly approriate for a current event or situation . On this occasion it is very personal and very very funny, but you have to have been there to appreciate it . There are one or two of my friends who will wet themselves laughing (at my expense :( ) if I can just get it to their inbox . Suffice to say it has a medical connection . :8} Cheers Billy 8-{) |
