Dear Russell, - your advice is appreciable, - is it also pertinent to --Outlook Express (OE)-- ? this is supposed to be an improved one and not so prone to certain malaises 'Outlook' has. I have no company restrictions, only my inapt ignorance how to (mis?)handle my software <G> so I am scared to touch it (change server). (I never attended any courses in computers, do it 'try and err' and err I do. I have an idiosyncratic aversion against manuals, - IMO they are lousy translations by Japanese computers into US English from German.)
However: do you have some 'favorites' for the "X" you wrote?
