The above appears on one line to me.

Rez, can you see if hotmail will let you turn off "quoted-printable" & HTML & 
RTF, and thus let you send plain text?

I find your replies difficult to interpret to the point I usually only reply 
to your original posts (which for some reason are readable).

If I decoded the hotmail garbage correctly, you asked would it be sane to:
"find . -name fileattr -print |  xargs rm -f"

never with out first doing:
"find . -name fileattr -print |  less"
or better:
find . -name fileattr -print > thingstoblowup
vi thingstoblowup #remove anything you don't want to blow away
cat thingstoblowup |  xargs rm -f

however, you realize everyone else's watches will be trashed too, right?

it _might_ be better to see if you could make a SED/ED script to just remove 
the offending user's watches.
