I must have goofed again. I haven't used the ancient 2001 version in 2 1/2
years. I thought that the second option only came in with X. Possibly it
came in with 2001 SR-1, or maybe it had it from the beginning. (I _do_
recall the crazy workaround we had to do in OE 5 to avoid complex HTML: you
had to put an empty folder with the correct name into the "ActiveX" folder
of System Folder/Extensions.)

I think Entourage has its own control of cookies, and this is that. It
mostly prevents or allows websites from confirming your email address (thus
increasing your value to spammers) in HTML code tucked into the webpage
code. It may do one or two other things, but nothing too drastic (compared
to Windows email clients).

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X.
It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.
