Afternoon all Having office redecorated so all computer equipment disconnected etc. Working on my emergency laptop Just had a flash message appear onscreen from Marjorie Wittam (I think) which appeared via Outlook Express (which I never use) I t came onscreen for about 30 seconds and I picked up it was about one of my Lea Mills men Bert Parker (I was all excited as info was interesting and promise of a photo) Then zap it disappeared into the ether never to appear again. I searched my normal email program but not there. I restarted the never-used Outlook Express but not there Could Marjorie please resend? (I am hoping it came via the list) A very puzzled Peter

(I am hoping it came via the list) I'd suggest having a look in the archives to see there's is anything from Marjorie Wittam there. I've not seen anything though. There are a number of mails from Marjorie Ward. What is the subject line or the likely subject line? Did the mail disappear into the junk mail folder? Have you checked your me.com and mac.com accounts? It's been a long time since I used OE but, IIRC, it can't download any mails unless an email account has been set up in it. Something weird seems to be going on - and Hallowe'en has been and gone. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk

Peter, I'm sorry you didn't have time to read my email. The original I sent yesterday is in my Sent folder and when my husband returns in an hour or so I shall ask him to resend it to you because I am not sure how to!!
