Always reply to your original thread, Bill.
PS: Your headers (Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.3598) tell us that WinXP SP3 is (still) installed and that OE is fully patched. Bill Cunningham wrote: "Bill Cunningham" wrote in message ...

One of my PCs is still (intentionally) with XP Home, SP2. It is fully patched. My OE version is 6.00.2900.2180. Is this because I am running IE7 instead of IE8? How does one determine what these version numbers correspond to?

And what they did to the overall IE interface, and it's customability (or rather, lack thereof, I should say) - ugh! (As in thanks, but no thanks. :-).
