I was about to say that even more annoying are those emails which have
embedded links to the internet, where you have to be online to see the
pix. - -   but I don't want all those image files cluttering up my hard
drive.

But these days,  emails are often much more than just a text medium - -

I think our daughter must use Outlook for emails - she sometimes sends
us emails where there is a jpg or gif file embedded within the text of
the email.  I don't mind those, esp if it is a pic of the grandkids :-D.

I also get some emails with PowerPoint Script files attached.  There is
a PPS reader available for download at Microsoft website.  I think
it is kinda neat to run those and see a "slideshow".

I've emailed to your new addy a sample of an email with an animated
(gif) attachment - - They can probably also have sound, but I haven't
ever bothered to install a soundcard on this particular machine.

I think the most annoying emails I get are those where the msg has been
forwarded thru a chain of previous senders and nobody could figger out
how to save and reattach the attachment, and you have to go down through
about 8 different levels of sender's stuff before you can finally get to
the attachment.  My wife seems to get a _lot_ of those from her old
school chums - - - mostly AOL users.
