Would it be too cynical of me to suggest that if you removed OE, when you did an update, OE would be the first thing re-installed!!

Default NG reader?
I have two machines both running WinXP SP3 and SeaMonkey 1.1.16, and I thought they were configured the same, but apparently not. After running Windows Update last night, which included patches to some MS Office programs, I found (as usual) that Micro$#!+ had stolen my default browser and email settings. So I set them back. But it turns out that one machine has SeaMonkey Mail as the default newsgroup reader, and the other has Outhouse Distress, and doesn't even offer SM as an option. I've poked around in Control Panel | Internet Options | Programs and in Set Program Access and Defaults, and I can't see how to fix it. Nor does SM seem to have its own way of testing and changing the setting. Any ideas? -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

In SM 2.0 there's the option to do that..dunno if possible in 1.x because I've never used it. Another workaround could be to remove OE from 'add/remove windows components' if you aren't using it.
