We survived the chocolate pudding
Thank you all for your "Go for it" advice. The outdated chocolate cooked up
just fine, the pudding was delicious, and I woke up this morning. But you know what? I still prefer My-T-Fine, because it develops a nice, leathery skin on top, and I serve it in wide, shallow soup dishes for maximum skin. Then I dig a hole in the center and pour in heavy cream and, working from the center out, enlarge the hole as I eat and add more cream as needed. There's an art to it. Felice |

You can avoid the skin by laying plastic wrap on the surface, but I suppose you wouldn't be interested in that tip if you like the skin. |

You keep your plastic wrap off my pudding, Dave. The skin is the best part! Felice |

Even the quickie pudding recipe with cornstarch (posted here a couple of weeks ago) develops skin... maybe it's not as thick as you like, but it's still skin. :) -- Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground. |

Haven't had any for ages. Maybe I should buy a box of Royal chocolate pudding mix and make some pudding - allowing a nice skin to form on each bowl. I haven't made pudding like that in many years. Used to do it all the time as a kid.

My-T-Fine makes an instant that is, indeed, crappy, but it also makes a cooked pudding that forms a skin and is quite good. And the "art" comment follows, and refers to, the method of consuming the pudding and heavy cream together. But then, that's way out of your comfort zone, isn't it? Felice |

In any case, it does work for OE and for Windows Mail, but not for Windows Live Mail. What's insane is that Microsoft developed a new program with the same bug--that suggests that somebody at Microsoft has the spec wrong and is sufficiently entrenched that nobody could force a change on it. |

There's a gotcha--OE/Windows Mail has a setting in tools/options/send/plain text settings "indent the original text with '>' when replying or forwarding" or words to that effect. You have to turn that _off_ or it will fight with OE-quotefix. |

Too bad there isn't a quote fix for Live Mail, since that's what people seem to be migrating to with Win7 (or is OE still available on 7 too?) - is it something that Microsoft came up with or is it an open source type of thing? -- Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground. |
