Assume I send an email to Person A and a "blind" copy to Person B. Person A does not use AOL. If Person A sends a reply to "send all" will he be able to see who received the blind copy? Jon Raymond St Paul Park, MN Web site: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~raymond/

I think aol is the problem. When I try to sign the screen AOL pops up whether I have tried or just click on my game screen. It does what ever it wants to and it so annoying to have to click it off several times before I can even finish a game of solataire. Sometimes i just give up and say to heck with it and turn off my computer. So I do believe aol is worn out completely and cannot take care of its customers. ew

You may have to end up doing that--but I'd try going through tech support first. You wold probably do best calling on the phone. It does sound as though something is seriously corrupted. Joan

That sounds reasonable to me, although I am definitely no expert!! I had a similar problem, although not with AOL. Every time I put a CD in the drive my Kodak picture program would start. I finally uninstalled the Kodak program, then reinstalled it - making sure that no other program was running at the time. That fixed the problem. Barbara

AOL kept reverting back to trying to autodial. Here's what I did to correct the problem. First I noticed that I was using a LAN for connection and not the dialup/VPN connection. My LAN uses a cable modem and a wireless router. Using the system admin ID, I (1) went into the Control Panel, (2) opened Internet options, (3) went to Connections, and (4) removed Dial-Up/VPN configuration. Voila! It hasn't been back since. Hmmmm...I went to Control Panel but I don't have anything that says Internet Options--I guess my equivalent is Network Connections. I opened that and saw three choices: Dial-up which has a check mark and AOL ENABLED LAN or High-Speed internet ENABLED DELL True-Mobile 1300 WLAN Network Bridge ENABLED, Bridged This doesn't sound exactly the same as what you are seeing and by "removing" I assume you mean you removed the check mark in the Dial-up setting?

Just right click on the offending persons email address in their email and on the dop down options that appear click on block email. Robin

Joan This is interesting Joan. I am not having that problem with AOL but I have the very same problem with Novel Groupwise which is loaded on my computer and allows me to access my e-mail at work. It keeps coming up even though I am have not attempted to sign on. So far we haven't figured out how to make it stop. Emma

I just click out of it and in another minute it restarts itself correctly--or incorrectly depending on the point of view. :( ------------------------------ OK, then something is corrupted. Sharon

How do I do that? ----------- 1) At the top of your AOL desktop screen, click on Mail > Block unwanted mail > click on Edit to the right of the Sender Filter at the bottom of the window that pops up. 2) Then put a dot in the selection Use a Custom Sender List. 3) Select the Block all senders and domains listed below. 4) Then type or copy and paste into the ADD box just below the email address or the domain name you wish to block and click on the ADD button to the right. Repeat however many times needed to add all the necessary addresses/domains. 5) When you are done, be sure to click the green Save button at the bottom. Sharon
