Oh yeah...This is definately illegal. Perhaps somebody needs to print off
some RFCs in large font print.
So does anybody know definitively, is there a real shortage of brain cells
at MS in the RFC reading and implementing department? I mean how difficult
is it to read a recipie (the RFC) and just make your software do what the
RFC says it MUST (and hopefully SHOULD) do? Sheesh.
