OE Searching for hyperlinks--PLEASE HELP!--
Sometimes when I have a long message in my e-mail Inbox or when downloading
multi-part posts in a newsgroup, I get this message at the bottom of the screen --Searching for hyperlinks, followed by the percentage complete--- This really slows down my computer and makes it stutter and is generally aggravating until the search reaches 100%. What is this function? And, much more important, how do I turn it off? Is it doing anything really necessary? Thanks, please help me--- |

how do I turn it off?
You can't but on the other hand don't display the message in the preview window. For multi-part messages this serves no purpose. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP FerdyPooh wrote: Sometimes when I have a long message in my e-mail Inbox or when downloading multi-part posts in a newsgroup, I get this message at the bottom of the screen --Searching for hyperlinks, followed by the percentage complete--- This really slows down my computer and makes it stutter and is generally aggravating until the search reaches 100%.

What is it? You answered that yourself "Searching for hyperlinks" that's what
it is and what it is doing. So once again the fix is remarkably simple, close the preview window when downloading binaries. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP FerdyPooh wrote: So what is it? What's it doing? If it's not a necessary function--- |

OK, went into layout menu and disabled the preview pane----
Next stupid question--- How do I view my e-mails now? :-) "Mike M" wrote in message ... What is it? You answered that yourself "Searching for hyperlinks" that's what it is and what it is doing.

How do I view my e-mails now? :-) Either by opening (select in the header list and double click), the e-mail you want to view or using the preview pane. The problem you are seeing only occurs when you attempt to view messages containing binary code such as multi-part binaries which incidentally are much better downloaded using a client such as Forte Agent. There is no reason not to use the preview pane, all you need to do is avoid viewing individual sections of binary multi-part posts before you have combined them. Since there is nothing to see other than a representation of the binary code this isn't a particularly serious loss. Regards, -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP doing? If it's not a necessary function--- |

Best of luck.
Oh and just one final note. You are not alone in hating the "searching for hyperlinks" "feature". If you think you got annoyed you should have seen the reaction of those involved in beta testing OE when this particular feature jumped to prominence. :-) -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP FerdyPooh wrote: Got it Mike---- Thanks so much for your prompt replies-- |
