	Wow, so I had been misattributing this to Neal Stephenson when
it was actually Bruce Sterling all along.

Subject: Viridian Note 00124: Viridian Movement Officially


Viridian Curia Member Laura Stinson points out that people unwise
enough to use "Microsoft Outlook" cannot read the entire "Manifesto of
January 3, 2000."  That's because one line of the text happens to
begin with the word "begin," followed by two spaces.  When Microsoft
Outlook sees this, it interprets everything that follows as an
attachment.

I'll bet you didn't know that you could blind Microsoft Outlook
readers merely by placing the innocuous term "begin" in a text, thus
giving a preferential advantage to readers who spurn Microsoft
products. Now you know this.  I hope you don't put your newfound
powers to any sinister use.

	Yeah.  It's near impossible to test any of this stuff any
more, what with so few Windows boxes around.
