<VV> Excel time formats ? Lesson learned : Do not use Excel data in VV

[Charles Lee at Proper Pro Per]

Aahh !  Found out something about VV :

Here's the part that VV clipped out of my email (see the last example below) 
:

>       dddd mmmm dd, yyyy Saturday January 06, 2007
>       mm dd, yyyy 01/06/2007
>       ddd mmm dd, yy Sat Jan 06, 07
>       ddd mmm dd, yy \@ hh:mm:ss am/pm Sat Jan 06, 07 @ 04:59:59 PM
>
>       NOTE : Put a 'backslash' before any actual character you may want 
> (i.e. : \@)
>

This had been in Excel 'cells' and copied into my email.

Fortunately, and the reason that John didn't have a problem, is that I sent 
his 'offline' (not via VV) so his didn't lose the important bits !

I had thunk it might get 'unformatted' but it gets completely dumped instead 
!!!!

Thanks for the uptake !
