RE: New Weapon

Noam & Brian:

Thanks for all the number crunching and help with the PSB.

I'll distill it all into something "list-able" and resend the second
draft :-)

Actually I am pretty sure the code segment looks like this:

#DEFINE ON 1
#DEFINE OFF 0
:SEND_MAIL
if (recipient like 'gzg*') {
    if (RAND() < .5) {
	HTML = ON;
    } else {
	HTML = OFF;
    }
    if (check_Oerjan_rant_this_week_against_HTML not true) {
	HTML = ON;
	CC = "oerjan.ohlson@telia.com"; //in case he unsubscribes
gzglist
    }
}
Sendmail();

The FSE would far sooner call it the FFBA
(or translate it to ABFE or somesuch). The
acronym GPT has an unfortunate phonetic value
in the language of Voltaire ("J'ai Pete")!

Then again, if the plasma bolt theory is correct
then perhaps the coincidence is correct...
