Primal scream therapy

This morning, we congregated for a walk-through inspection on that renovation project across the river. Not yet finished. I need to blow something up. If you read or hear of a Maine contractor losing something expensive in a violent fashion, please delete this message from your hard drive.

Words added to SIGNATURES. Glitch encountered in sending part of the draft out to crit group -- the email cut off about halfway through the first chapter of this excerpt. _My_ copy of the email, in the Outlook Express "sent mail" folder, is complete. The copy I got reflected from our group server is truncated. Tried it again, same thing happened. Third time, I deleted bits and pieces around the termination point and retyped the text in. The whole thing went through. Apparently _something_ slipped into my original message text that some part of the process interpreted as an "end of file" symbol. Some _invisible_ thing.

A.A.R.R.R.R.G.H.H.H.

Make sure you post photos of explosions!

Photos are evidence. Not a chance.

Outlook Express
Allow me, as a very happy Mozilla Thunderbird user, to gently suggest that the underlying fault lies in the two words italicized above.

(Yes, I will use Microsoft Outlook when a client insists on it. But only on that client's computers ...)
