Outlook did it then, the source of your message contains a lot of this
kind of stuff:
"""

No problem, you might change your outlook rich-text message defaults
to include a background color then, just-in-case.

No big point for that, just that is the reason that bootstrap does not
exist, it builds bjam and in the future may start to set some global
variable for the build process to simplify.

The example tests build fine the build-bots for Visual Studio. Can
you attach *your* complete project with your build settings and such
and I can try it locally? My programming computer should be back up
soon. if you have VS2k5, try to send it as that as that is what I
have, along with your built executable and I can check its disassembly
directly.
