There is a setting that allows you to recieve and open attachments. In Outlook Express, click the Tools menu, Select Options Select the security tab.

Hi Marie Go to tools-options-security and un check the line that says do not open attachments that could be a virus. that checkmark won't let you open an attachment even if you send it to yourself. Peggy "OE removed the following unsafe > attachments in your mail" and named the attachments.

I have to say your reasoning does not make much sense. I got a message requesting that the answers be sent directly to Pat - yet you continue to post the messages concerning the price of obits on the list. Come on, lets have some consistency! You said "It inappropriate because the price of an obit has absolutely nothing to do with computing." Ken Quinn Vice President of Parade Organization United Irish Societies of Montreal, Inc.

Keeping abreast of computer issues is a difficult task, and I like to leave that to the acknowledged experts in the field to keep me in touch. My newsletters I have received all seem to lean towards WAITING before installing Win XP Service Pack 2. Why? In essence Service Pack 2 deals with security issues and is designed to literally force those users of the Internet who don't have up to date firewalls or anti-virus programs installed and kept current, at present, into having them, whether they like it or not. Now, if you fall into that category, DON'T DELAY! Install SP2 ASAP! If you have an up to date firewall and AV program (or two) installed, you can wait until potential bugs are ironed out. Simple isn't it? You just have to decide which category you are in. But don't take my word for it. Read what some of the well-known Windows experts have to say: http://langa.com/newsletters/2004/2004-08-16.htm http://www.scotsnewsletter.com/60.htm http://channelzone.ziffdavis.com/article2/0,1759,1633858,00.asp http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=2210420 7 As you will read, this is not just a simple patch; it is a virtual upgrade to a new OS (but still using the same name). It is large - 75 MB - so those on dial-up may need to request a CD copy from Microsoft (it's free). The final decision lies with each individual.

Scroll down the list towards the bottom, look for Windows XP Hotfix. You should see that there are several SP2 patches already installed. This is of course if your computer is kept up-to-date. Microsoft originally planned to release this SP in the spring. It has undergone several changes since that time. The fact that most of the updates evolve security, those people with broadband connections should not wait. People on dial-up service "may" be able to wait as they are not as vulnerable to attacks. I have seen warnings about each and every Service Pack that Microsoft has ever put out. Some, if not all, are put out by the very people that would like to get into your system. If there are so many problems with it, as I've heard on various lists, could you tell me why every major computer magazine in the US is recommending that you do not delay with the installation? Just my thoughts and opinion.

Art, Frankly, I don't mind it being left in the mailbox. (I just checked and I had 482 messages.) There have been times when Eudora didn't want to work, and I can still get and send my messages on webmail. If I want to save any of my sent messages, particularly those regarding genealogy, I just resend them to me so that I'm sure I don't lose them. It took me maybe 5 minutes to clear out those 482. I'm very happy with the arrangement. Pat At 11:49 PM 8/15/2004, you wrote: >Pat, > >In Eudora, check your settings under Tools> Options> Incoming Mail.

Thank you so much, Lance! I used to use OE but decided to try Outlook. I thought maybe Outlook might lend itself better to handling email that I send and receive for genealogical purposes. So far, I've found that both work well for how I use them but I'm thinking about this further and appreciate tools and ways of using them that I'd not know about. Thank you!!

This is mainly because they are two vastly different programs. There are many sites which offer help on using Outlook, either just generally, or more specifically on separate topics. Depending on your needs there are probably many features of Outlook you may never use, but it certainly can become an excellent "organizer" for you personally and your research. Here are some sites which offer tips and "how to's". They are in no particular order of preference: http://outlook-tips.net/index.html http://www.techtutorials.info/emoutlook.html http://go.cas.psu.edu/howto/HowToList.cfm?Cat=Outlook http://tutorials.beginners.co.uk/index/category/106 http://tinyurl.com/638ym http://techhelp.berlinwall.org/www/email/outlook/Default.asp http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/depts-vis/outlook_basics.html To protect your Outlook files there is an excellent program called Outback Plus. This is an essential step to do particularly if you have accumulated a lot of research messages. For Outlook Express users, this company also has a similar program available for you to: http://www.ajsystems.com/ You asked about messages you have deleted. Well, as with anything you delete on your computer all that happens is that Windows knows that the space occupied by that file can now be written over when needed. The actual file still exists but doesn't "show" on any listing. Whether it gets written over today, tomorrow or in a month's time you will never know. Even then experts using the right technique can still find the remnants of files "deleted" long ago. You have probably read news reports of that happening in criminal cases. Yes, Powermarks is great for organizing favourites/bookmarks. I have literally hundreds of genealogical ones saved as well as a couple of thousand others. No need to wade through folders or spend time organizing where a new one has to be saved - Powermarks doesn't need that. Anyone who wants to make life easier should be using Powermarks: http://www.kaylon.com/power.html Lance -----Original Message----- From: Marie Peer [mailto:peer@mindspring.com] Sent: Saturday, 14 August 2004 01:10 To: GEN-COMP-TIPS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [Gen-Comp-Tips] INSIDEOE and INSIDEO I read the INSIDEOE site. Good stuff. Is there a similar site for Outlook? I tried the same address for just Outlook and didn't find anything. This is genealogically related since 95% of all email I send and receive (minus spam) is genealogically related to research or sharing information or learning about genealogy. I often move messages to folders within Outlook for reading when I have time particularly from Rootsweb lists and from the Legacy users list etc and I wonder if those I've deleted in Outlook are really not deleted but are taking up disc space and slowing down the program. I will keep looking through search engines but tomsterdam doesn't seem to have a section for Outlook. Sidenote: AND Thank you, Lance!! Mailwasher really HAS cut way down on spam. It did take awhile as you said, but wow!! How nice!! AND I don't know how I could live without PowerMarks!! I used to physically copy websites, transfer them into word files for categories such as Military, Obituaries, Vital Records, names of states with their archives or other related information, DAR sites, etc... and then enter a description. I could find things, but what a long painful convoluted way to store websites!! Power marks does in about 30 seconds what it used to take me about 15 minutes to do before!! Thank you again, Lance!!
