Is he really an MVP?

[Bob Newman]

I received the following email in my inbox yesterday, unsolicited. With all
that goes on theese days I'm very suspicious. Does anyone know if this is
legit?

Alert in Outlook 2003

Creating a Permanent New Mail Desktop Alert in Outlook 2003

I thought it was one of the most excessive options in previous versions of
Outlook and I was happy to see it got a huge functional and cosmetic
overhaul in Outlook 2003. Strangely enough it is now one of the most
criticised options as well; the New Mail Desktop Alert.

Fortunately the criticism is mainly based on only 2 things;
a.. "It only works on the Inbox folder"
b.. "It cannot be configured to stay longer than 30 seconds; I WANT IT TO
STAY PERMANENT!"
Yes, I said "fortunately" as both issues can be solved. This time article
also comes with a free tool to easily calculate for you how long the New
Mail Desktop Alert will stay.

Well Bob, did you post a question? Was your question about mail
alerts for Outlook? And did you use your REAL email address when you
posted? And would this perhaps be a pointer to the answers to your
questions?

If that were the case, you couldn't really consider it unsolicited,
could you?

Roady most definitely IS an MVP and you can see his contributions all
over this newsgroup. And the howto-outlook.com website is hosted by
yet another MVP...

Thank you very much. No I did not post a note on that topic, that's why I
was concerned. Yes I did use my real address. As luck would have it though
I am interested the desktop alert and will check it out. I didn't mean to
offend anybody.

Nah, no offense, I just figured you were involved with a conversation
with him in the group. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with
questioning the origins and validity of an email.
