Default OE Subject line change bugs (was: What's a Thread)

I think OE will only remove "OT" when it's before the "". At least
that's what happened when you replied to me. I'll change this Subject
and we'll verify that.

If you respond using OE, I'm guessing OT will be removed, and the old
thread name in parenthesis will remain, two things a "proper
newsreader" doesn't do.

You're welcome on the Subject line change explanation. I have to keep
it handy because I forget so quickly!


Yup. "OT" went bye bye (and that's _with_ QuoteFix)!

Maybe this bug is undocumented? I have no idea why OE would remove the
OT (maybe nothing is OT to MS clients ;-) ). I won't hold my breath for
a fix...

"Good news, everyone!"

Defraggler was able to to defrag huge files with tight free disk spaces.
Surprisingly my huge VMware images only had like five fragments. Much
better than the other defraggers.

Are you kidding me? Doesn't Symantec manufacture a defragmenter utility?







Yes (at least they used to in NU), but they won't allow a larger drive
on his computer...

Yes, but have you ever used it before? :P Not very good defragger IMO
especially with tight free disk spaces.

I subscribe to a number of tech forums and advice sites, and the one that's
always recommednded is JKDERAG, available free at
http://www.kessels.com/Jkdefrag/
I've used it for 4-5 months now, seems to work just fine. It takes awhile to
defrag 80 gb, so large hard drives will take awhile {not sure whaich
algorythms it uses, but they all do it diefferently!}.
Give it a try....I'm sure you'll be pleased.

Hello.

Yesterday, I was defragging my office computer with XP Pro. SP2's
default disk defragger, but it was too fragmented with many huge files
(mostly VMware v5.5.9 images) and had limited free disk spaces. Are
there any better ones that doesn't cost a cent? My PC feels slower and I
think it is because of the severe fragmentations.

Thank you in advance.

Suggest you find the problem instead of blaming Microsoft.


Can't see the OP, but if he's RESPONSIBLE (?) for many machines, surely he
TESTED it first?

Asking a question?
Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about,
your OS, Service Pack level
and the FULL contents of any error message(s)




i allowed SP3 on my WinMCE 2002 laptop... things are working... but more
slowly...
