Hi Steve, and thanks. I gave up on OE long ago in favor of Opera. But lately I'm
getting mail that states a message I sent, supposedly out of OE, was undeliverable.
Maybe some other machine with my email address stored in it has a virus or worm
that is putting my address as the sender. If so, wish I could find it! But if not,
I figure it could be a worm in my own machine, and a simple (?) way to defeat it
would be to remove OE.
For the last 3 hours I've been trying to run the procedure put out by Microsoft,
but to no avail. What a bear!
