Thanks. I will try it when I get to back to my office Monday.

BTW, how about installing OE on Windows 7 machine?

I understand that OE is no longer available. But OE works just fine in
three of my XP computers for reading newsgroups.
Recently, I reformatted and re-installed WinXP SP3 on one of the
computer. I missed OE. How can I get and re-install OE? There must be a
trick to do it? Jorge

OE is a part of IE6 and XP, so it is already on your machine, somewhere.

Copy this:

c:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe

Start | Run and Paste it in | OK.

Now go to the Control Panel | Set Program Access and Defaults and set OE
as default and then you should have the shortcut.

Outlook Express General newsgroup:

In your newsreader:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...xpress.general

On the Web:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...ress.ge neral

Have you considered Mozilla Thunderbird? It's still supported, operates
similar to OE, and the filters are more complete. The best example is
that you can set a filter "If the sender is in my address book", or "If
the sender isn't in my address book".
