Of course not. I'm not surprised. MS wants to force people to use WLM.

Or Thunderbird, or Outlook or just about any one of the many third
party email programs written for Windows. How damn inconsiderate of
them. If I were French I'd be out in the street setting fire to cars
in protest.......


Or even let us keep using WindowsMail by including it with the OS?
It's easy enough to transfer. :-)


Perhaps there's a SECURITY reason they discontinued it. Ever think of
that?


Sure, but WLM is so bad who would use it? I'm sure most people, except
newbies, would go for something better. Thunderbird is what I'll use if
serious problems develop with WM.

Unless you use a valid email address, you have no case.

Get a throwaway email addy you can use and send the complaint from that
email
address if someone forges it.

Since you are using an invalid email address there is no forgery.


Huh? I don't understand; what's a valid e-mail address?


Usenet providers can not sanction the person responsible for your alleged
"forgery" because you can't prove you're you.

The only way to get the alleged forger's account can be cancelled is if you use
a real email address in your postings (and the forger also uses it). Why?

Because you send the complaint FROM the real email address you post from. This
proves you own that email address and someone is impersonating you.

" can be used by anyone, and so can "Valorie *~", you
don't own a trademark to those.

Get yourself a throw-away email addy just for Usenet. It will fill with spam,
but that's okay... you're using it as a post-only account just in case someone
forges you. My email address is valid, but only checked maybe twice a year.

Are you the forger?


No, I have no interest in such shenanigans.

Valorie *~ inquiried thusly as such:

Usually, I must keep my super-identity
a closely-guarded secret; but, since you're
asking on the usernets, *I* *am* 'The Forager'...

.... by night, keeping Metropolust and Gothams
safe so I can plunder and pillage all the
good-looking wimmins all the rest of the time.

It's a 'Win-Win; Thank You, Ma'am' situation!

HTH.

For anyone having any problem using any version of Forte Agent,
check out alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent. It will answer
questions you didn't even know you had.

It remains the most useful program on my machine ... since
1998.

Great, but look at how badly formatted your post was. Is that really
OK with you? Previous text wasn't quoted properly, previous sig
delimiter was ignored, your own sig delimiter is broken and misplaced,
and on and on. What a mess.

Actually, that is not true. Despite using an email address with the
'.invalid' TLD, I was able to prove a forgery, based on the Message-ID$ of a
forged post. There are other ways, than a functional (which is, I think,
what you really mean, not 'invalid') email address. Best way to deal with
forgeries, if you want to go to the trouble, is to use a PSP signature.
Works better than a functional email address.

Often, I don't even try to find the meat in such a sausage. It takes
long enough to read a NG without that (I'm in a hard-nosed mood, I
guess).

I'm on somewhat of a crusade to help people fix their broken clients,
but I'm sure I'll tire of it soon enough and just filter them out.

Yeah, a couple of minutes ago I just posted a long explication on the
same subject somewhere in this NG. I'm not consistent...

I saw it, I liked it, but I'm afraid it won't be enough. Oh well.

I'm the same way. The whole point of the newsreader is to make
communication easier. That means presenting it in a form that's easy
for other people to read and follow the conversation. If people are
going to intentionally present their words in an hard-to-read manner...
well, I have lots of better things to do than to disentangle their
mess.

Ditto. I usually drop out of attempting to help when the thread mixes
top-posting with normal posting.
