On my system, you can't with the regular email program (Eudora) - it will
quit reading and say something like "can't read pop file", so then in order
to read your mail, you open up a terminal program, start "elm" (a generic
unix mail reader on the server) find the offending message, delete it, then
go back to Eudora. Then you find that everyone who replied to that posting
has also sent a poison message.

This may be Microsoft's (the root of most evil in the universe) fault. On
the other hand, Qualcomm is not helping me fix this.

IMHO, all attachments (including vcards, logo paintbrush files, etc.)
should be stripped from postings by the technet listserver before
distribution.
