 That's a bit unfair, isn't it? I worked for a firm like that not too
long ago, where corporate policy decreed html e-mail, separate fonts for
this and that, style templates, firm logos all over the place in the
text, an idiotic, meaningless mission statement in crappy Dutch English
and goodness knows what else. Everything based on Outlook and Windows
(apart from my Linux laptop). Needless to say, the firm went bankrupt
(3,000 employees no less).

Best,

Tony
