RE: Purely for your amusementSorry for that HTML reply. OE usually asks me
if I want to send HTML or plain text whent he recipient is marked as "text
only" in the address book. Apparently the fact that oracle-l was in the
reply-to and not the from header confused it and it never asked. It just
sent it as HTML. I'll watch out for this in the futire.

Excerpt from
http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/business/columnists/gmsv/5286
438.htm
Microsoft committed to providing Chinese government with information
necessary to buy Microsoft products: The Chinese government will soon be
able to view the source code for the Windows operating system, now that it
has agreed to participate in Microsoft's Government Security Program (GSP)
-- a program designed to assuage concerns about the security of the OS by
allowing governments to review its underlying source code. "We are committed
to providing the Chinese government with information that will help them
deploy and maintain secure computing infrastructures," said Microsoft
Chairman Bill Gates who was in Beijing today to announce the pact. "We see
this agreement as a significant step forward in Microsoft's relations with
the Chinese government." Gates can only hope. After all, the Chinese
government has long been quite vocal about its preference for Linux, even
going so far as to develop its own version of the operating system, dubbed
Red Flag Linux, that it says will eventually replace Windows and Unix on all
of its government PCs and servers.
