Oops, mixing things up with 822, which has a 1982 vintage, getting close
to 30 years old.  Must... stop... relying... on... umm... memory...

Yes, but still...  /nearly/ 20 years on, and they still haven't managed
to do attachments properly.  I heard a rumour that they've finally
managed to support alpha-transparency in PNGs, but I don't know whether
to believe it.  ;-/

Microsoft is still the spotty teenager that thinks it knows best, when
it most certainly does not.  ;-)
