        I can't speak for the system in question, but my campus mail
comes through an obsolete system we refer to as "The VAX." I know just enough
about computers to avoid breaking them too often, but an acquaintance horrified
some more knowledgeable folks at a recent SCA meeting by invoking the phrase
"VMS," which was described to me as some sort of UNIX precursor, with respect
to the software. Here we just like to kid around that the VAX won't have any
trouble with Y2K, 'cuz it was state-of-the-art in 1900 ...
        Be that as it may, I receive HTML code in excruciating detail, and most
attachments come across as multiple screens of gibberish, but AOL messages such
as the above seem to be just fine.
