Subject:Vanagon Spell Checker Alert! (F)
From:Tony Peet
Date:Fri, 29 Oct 1999 18:01:48 PDT

I ran the Hotmail spell checker on an email I was sending to a friend about
my Vanagon.  It highlighted 'Vanagon' as a misspelled word, and offered the
alternate spelling: Vagina.

This means potentially that some very sticky situations could be just a
click away, and I wanted to make the list aware of this dangerous connection
immediately.

For example, if you send a post asking "How much can I reasonably expect to
fit in my Vanagon?" or "Does anyone else's Vanagon have the leaks that mine
does?".....And THEN if you used the spell checker and accidently
CLICKED!!!!!.........Well, you see the problems that could result.

I do not think this is some organized prank by Microsoft to embarrass us.
And I trust you know that I could not possibly make this up.(It really
happened!)
