bugs one day.

| 3574.4 | an email bomb can blow up ALL-IN-ONE? | WRKSYS::SEILER | Larry Seiler | Mon Jan 30 1995 15:26 | 6 |
| I was once accused of sending an email bomb. I used a very long
subject line and it broke the recipient's ALL-IN-ONE mail reader.
He reported it to my personnel rep (he was already mad at me).
Regards,
Larry

That's his problem.... he should have been using "ALL-IN-1", not
"ALL-IN-ONE" .....
ALL-IN-ONE is a banking program from Bank One ... ALL-IN-1 is our office
automation product.....

| We used to send e-mail messages to users with VT100's with certain
control characters that would put the terminal into recycled power fail
testing. The only way to reset the terminal was power off- then back
on - otherwise it would continue to cycle through putting a test
pattern on the screen, then power fail reset. In those days folks
could more readily take a joke. I'd not try it now a days.

VAX-Mail has been updated to not send non-printable characters to the screen
when you read the mail from within the Mail utility.
The trojan horses come in as "VT art" and say "enter extrac tt: to see the
train go around the christmas tree".

| 3574.9 | | ICS::BEAN | Attila the Hun was a LIBERAL! | Tue Jan 31 1995 08:26 | 7 |
| there was a time that we sent e-mail which would cause the character
set to be replaced with a "home brew" set. Everything was printed in
reverse (as in the individual characters were mirror images)
now THOSE were the good ol' dayz ;^}

| At HP we used to mess with the user id in memory table, changing user
names, etc to amuse the masses. When I came to Digital -- no PRIVS!

| 3574.11 | More backwards text | DPDMAI::HARDMAN | Sucker for what the cowgirls do... | Tue Jan 31 1995 23:25 | 9 |
| Wow, .9 brought back memories from way back when... In the early 80's I
worked at the Hudson, Mass chip plant. While one of the other techs was
on vacation, a couple of us took his VT100 apart and rewired the yoke
on the CRT. It then scanned from right to left, instead of left to
right and wrote everything on the screen backwards. The look on the
guys face when he logged in the first time was priceless!!! :-)

| 3574.12 | rotated text | CSEXP2::MORICK | | Fri Feb 03 1995 01:52 | 3 |
| We had a program that routed the text on the screen 90 degree and
convinced our secretary that the Digital ECO was to rotate the
monitor 90 degrees to fix it until a proper fixed was made.

| Reminds me of the time early on an April Fool's Day morning when a
friend & I sneaked into my VP's office and jiggered his shiny new
Macintosh such that it made a rude (and different) noise for every time
he pressed a key or clicked the mouse... Trouble was, he knew
*exactly* whose office to saunter casually over to & accuse... :-)
