Um...Dell's explanation reeks of something found in large piles down behind the stable, RHP.

Just how did Powerpoint get into this mix? Last time I checked, it can't send email. It must have acquired some additional secret features of which I, and I dare say everyone here, have remained ignorant for many years.

Wouldn't be the first time I'd heard an of an off-the-wall "explanation" from Dell tech support.

The 12-14 MB files that made up the win.dat messages I received, contained pps shows of "aircraft", which became dozens of repetitions – resulting in the gelatinizing of my incoming server.

Umm, err, gulp, well, a funny thing happened when I opened up Power Point in the new Microsoft Office 8 for Mac the other day... There is apparently some kind of command in Power Point that opens up their new mail program, Entourage, although I have to say, I don't quite remember how I got there... to automatically attach a Power Point document to either one or more email addresses. I didn't follow it through, because it was a mistake, and I didn't want to use Entourage, but there may be something in Vista that does something similar.

Not much help, but if there really is a similar function in the Vista or XP Version of PowerPoint, who knows Of course, with the way I type, any number of things are possible...
