The links in IE that enact operations in OE for New Message, Send Link and
Send Page are in a Drop down menu in IE ToolsMail and News or some have it
on the toolbar Mail Icon.
I do have FF2.x and TB but have not been using as of late. IE and OE are the
Default programs. Once I did have FF and OE cross-linked but have since
reordered the programs to there related applications. I think this happened
sometime back and I have been just getting by without the links. It may have
been a security update. I do use the restricted security level in OE and the
IE restricted zone is high "custom" with all options disabled. Do you think
that might be the problem?
DNSstuff is a toolset for ip,traceroute, etc.
I do not want to cross-post at this point because conversation is to far
along.

1. What is DSNSTUFF besides a scam site quickly set up to take advantage
of
people like you who worry too much? How do I test my IE/OE without
shelling
out money?
2. I had no idea what menus you're referring to in IE (or OE, for that
matter) until I looked real hard and found them in IE under ToolsMail and
News... Please, when posting, attempt to be precise and detailed in what
it
is you're referring to. My fault for not reading more carefully, but I
would
have suggested the same procedure to start with.
3. I'm surprised that IE Repair didn't fix it and I hope you *only* did IE
Repair, not a true reinstall of IE6. The former is pretty much harmless,
but
the latter can cause real problems (just like reinstalling Windows over
the
top of an existing installation, you end up reverting files to older
version, replacing newer versions that came primarily from Updates. Broken
Updates and DLL Hell result.)
4. Have you ever had any other browsers or email programs installed?
Because
now that I've taken another look, my first thought is that some other
program took over as your default email program, stole those menu items
for
itself and failed to restore the situation to it's previous state. Or some
other type of similar trick that disabled that menu. Not saying that's
what
did it, but it's the first thought. I'm almost certain this isn't a
Registry
issue which means it's a DLL or EXE.
5. Look in Internet Options, Programs tab and see if Outlook Express is
listed as your default Mail and News reader.
6. Perhaps someone who spends all their time on IE and OE will recognize
the
issue and have a solution, probably re-registering one or more DLLs. You
DO
NOT want to uninstall and/or reinstall either of the programs (they are
part
of the same package.)
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress
Please properly *cross-post* to those groups with your question, and, as I
mentioned before, try to be more precise in your description of the issue.

7. Do you actually use those menu items? If not, and nobody comes up with
anything in the above groups, I'd simply forget about the whole thing. It
is
certainly not worth the hassle and possible further messing up of your
system to do anything like uninstall/reinstall IE/OE.

If I uninstall OEv.6, where do I get a reinstall or upgrades for OE? I
have
a couple of issues about OE. I have a security update Q823353. Will this
be
affected by a un-reinstall? Why do this; because when on dnsstuff email
link
the website says the application OE is not installed properly or
corrupted.
Links in IEv.6 drop down menu do not connect to OEv.6 operations like
start
new message, send a link, send a page are not working.
