Posting via Outlook Express

In my profile, I have chosen Al as my name and that is the name that appears
when I post by going to the community forums; however, if I post via Outlook
Express my full name shows up as the name of the person posting. How can I
change this? Thank you.

Open OE, click on tools, accounts, news account, highlight your account and
click properties.

In OE on the Menu bar click Tools Accounts Mail tab your NG =
account Properties. Under the General tab change the User Name to =
whatever you want. While your there change the email addy to a fake one. =
This way you will keep the bots and scum from harvesting your addy and =
filling your email with tons of spam along with viruses. Munging your =
email addy in this way is not a problem for use of NG's.

Hello Al,
Just right-click on the server you are using on the left hand side of
the screen in OutLook, hit properties, change it and fudge your
email address at the same time if you want.
