http://www.insideoe.com/tips/ and
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm are a couple of great places to
find the solution to issues with OE. I'm not saying that you will find
the answer to your issue, but, there is access to folks that may. If Mike
is perplexed, that's not good! Hopefully, you can find the answer
soon.....best wishes.
Heirloom, old and Tomtserdam is good

oh,, one thing tho'.. why do you feel my problem has anything to
do o/e 5? as mentioned above registry.

Jeanette,

I don't. vbg You are however posting using Outlook Express and the
registry key(s) I mentioned are where the rules are located be it OE5,
OE5,5 or OE6 that you are using.

From the headers of your post
X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1106
which tells me that you are using Outlook Express 6, not fully patched
however as the latest version for use with Win Me would show
X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1478.

6.00.2800.1106 is the version that is part of IE6 SP1 (released late
2002) but without the subsequent Cumulative Security patches for OE, the
last of which was released in April 2004 [KB837009, MS04-013: Cumulative
Security Update for Outlook Express] which takes OE to 6.00.2800.1409.
To go to 6.00.2800.1478 would mean you then installing the later
Cumulative Update for Outlook Express 6 SP1 [KB887797] that was released
in December 2004.

Incidentally I am NOT saying that installing the missing patches would
solve the problem you are seeing. Likewise I'm not suggesting you dive
in to the registry. Unfortunately I'm at a loss as to what to suggest to
help you as we seem to have explored all avenues.
