filePro 5.7 revision update

[Ed Hilovsky]

Wow, this is not rocket science.
With a simple Linux system using SendEmail and a filePro database of email
addresses, one can setup a good email program within 6 - 8 lines of code. 
( I'd be happy to send you mine in order to stop this issue )

A few terms to be aware of:

Real spam is generally email advertising for some product sent to a mailing
list or newsgroup.

The term opt-out refers to several methods by which individuals can avoid
receiving unsolicited product or service information.

Well, the list didn't get it.  :-{  Replying there anyway.

You're probably going to want to go into a little detail about why not.

Tom is correct that Mark shouldn't overreact quite so badly to this, but in
turn, the exact people you sent 7 copies to last night are people who depend
on your professional computing judgement as a company, and they're prone to
be even less happy about being in legacy handcuffs after another one of
these than they were already.

It has?  Seems like it's done this Sorceror's Apprentice Mode thing every
time you've sent something.

I would just farm it the hell out and be done with it.

Back on list, since you said you'd sent this to the list... even though I
haven't seen it there.
