That was the reason I was complaining, so people who read this (and not
just the poster) /will/ know better. Private email would have been more
appropriate, but OTOH only reach the poster.

These people should be a minority of Outlook Express posters here, as
reading/posting to comp.lang.python is hardly required in many jobs. Plus,
if you're forced to use inappropriate tools for elementary tasks, then
maybe you should try to find a job where developers are treated
appropriately.
