Nil,

What I mean is that for you to ask for new features to be added
to a program that was abandoned long, long ago is futile and just
plain silly.

True, it would be. *IF* I would have been asking for that. Which I wasn't.

Nobody is here to serve you.

True. Some of us here seem to be hell-bent on interpreting a question
exactly as *they* want to, even though they have been informed of the fact
that the person who wrote it certainly didn't mean it that way.

Grousing about not getting what you want is childish. And futile.

.... And than making an ass of themselves by ignoring such an explanation,
and just keep on bitching.

Kiddo, its one thing to make a mistake in an interpretation of what was
asked for. But it takes a special kind of individual to keep continuing
their mistake even when they have been informed of it.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

Nil,
You obviously don't understand that Outlook Express was dropped
from further development more than a decade and a half ago.

What do you mean ? Where the developpers of that era stupider
than the ones outof this era than ?

Although I can understand your sentiment (I regulary use MSDN
documentation), I do not agree with you. If they would have just
barfed something out with minimum specs than it would, for
example, only have supported a single email addres, and would not
have had message rules.

It doesn't matter whether you agree with me or not, the fact remains
that the program is long dead and the developers will never touch it
again. What they could or would have done at that time is irrelevant.
No new features or settings will ever be added.

And alas, if I remove all the complaints about what you think I
must have ment outof your message I'm left with a blank sheet.
Which does not help me one iota further in finding the answer I'm
looking for ....
