We’ve not talked for a long, long time Bill.
Erm – this Microsoft Outlook – erm – Bill – did it really take tens of millions of dollars – to make it such an awful package to use? I find it really hard to get incoming emails – to go where I want them – well to be truthful – I can get them to go where I want them to go – but – erm – your bloody rule system seems to want to shove extra copies all over the place – so not only am I getting spammed over 100 emails a day – but your system seems to be giving me multiple copies – so I spend more time deleting – what I’ve just deleted.
Anyway the system finally collapsed a couple of days ago – when your – well Outlook’s – rule wizard couldn’t do anything with a rule – and so the package stopped – and froze – and the only way I could get things working was by – closing down Outlook.
After doing this six or seven times – I then took off all the rules – which of course – let the site – which had been sending me viruses – start sending me viruses again – so the next thing I have is McAffee all over the place – telling me to delete attachments with viruses – which I do – and then McAffee tells me to delete the same attachment – which I can’t do – cos – its already deleted – and then I panic – cos – I may not have deleted the virus – so I try and track down the attachment – and I find it – well I find its not there – which then makes me think – it is there – but cunningly hidden – so I close the system down down – and then get every bloody file on the bloody hard drive virus scanned – and then I load Outlook again – and it still goes wrong and then I load the fucking message with the fucking virus again.
So I solve the problem by downloading Eudora – then downloading all the messages – and then bloody Outlook starts working again – to its full bloody capacity – duplicating bloody spam messages and I look at the message rules setup and it is too bloody clever so in typical bloody Microsoft fashion it does not allow me to do what I bloody well want to do.
So I start using Eudora to control incoming messages and again I have problems – which Eudora’s brilliant automated support service – gives me some really interesting answers to fucking questions I’ve not asked – so I pay them – for the bloody package and guess what their bloody support service still won’t fucking well answer my query – and the human bloody response is – absolutely no bloody response. Real FUCKING great.
Still a mere couple of days fiddling around – learning bloody things about Eudora – no normal person would want to learn – I finally solved the bloody problem – which Eudora support should have had in their bloody online advice and bloody support – as my problem was very straightforward – and would be of interest to anyone – getting spammed. Anyway I now have a filter system – that’s what Eudora calls their rules wizard, Bill – that can delete the bloody bastard virus ridden messages – straight off the server and now 90% of the spam – goes into a folder call spam.
