Bob Hayes, My Page Setup Header and Footer windows have always been blank. I did a Windows Search/Find on "&w&bPage &p of &P" and got 360 hits. I opened a few, but found no trace of "&w&bPage &p of &P", 1 of 3, etc. I don't understand, but that's not unusual. Using regedit I found and removed two instances of "&w&bPage &p of &P" in my Registry. No effect. I notice that IE font size settings control the font size of the printed email of OE, but do not control the font size of the Header and Footer. Looks like I live with the Headers and Footers. (If it's really important to me to not have them, I save email to my word processor and print from there.) Thanks for yours efforts.

Read carefully ,,, I said IE (Internet Explorer) not OE (Outlook Express). OE & IE are integrated programs and share many of their settings such as Security & Printing. To change the font print out size in OE, you have to go into IE and click on View / Text Size and select a smaller text size.

Hello Bob, In the IN BOX preview pane, this a.m. I have your "this" email next is "The Ontario Digest" which will open with the paper clip. Being nosy after I had checked it, I double clicked on it this opens in a new page, with different panels,and the panel that contains the email headings cannot be dragged larger in any direction, this new page then shows starting at the top left blue bar Ontario Digest or "whatever" this is the MS blue bar that you can click on and drag the page up down or sideways, very much like this outgoing page, in fact while writing this I am dragging the page around to check the message below it "yours" to be sure I am answering the proper questions, I think <G>. I sure hope the above makes some sense !

Bob, Thank you for the information and your help. I will work on this Monday evening. Sue McAlister

To start with, you need to know your complete AT&T mail set up ,,, armed with that info.: Tools / Accounts / Mail tab / Add GENERAL Tab 1. Enter a name for your new account (such as AT&T) 2. Type in a name you want to be known as (does not have to be true) 3. Type in your AT&T email address. 4. It is best to leave the "Reply To" address empty. 5. Put a check mark in the little box at bottom left.,,, "Include this account -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ) SERVER Tab 1. My incoming mail server is a POP3 2. Incoming mail (POP3): mail.AT&T.net (something like that ,,, get from AT&T account) 3. Outgoing mail (SMPT): mail.AT&T.net (something like that ,,, get from AT&T account) 4. Account Name: your AT&T log on mail account username (not this mail account name) 5. Password: your AT&T log on mail account password 6. Check mark in "Remember Password CONNECTION Tab 1. No selections ,,,,, leaving this inactive allows your computer to use "Any Available" connection. SECURITY Tab 1. No selections ,,,,, Algorithm may have a value in it ,,, ignore it. ADVANCED Tab 1. Outgoing mail (SMPT): 25 2. Incoming mail (POP3): 110 3. Server Timeouts = 1-3 minutes 4. No other selections Above is the set up for a POP3 account, check your AT&T account to see what it is and collect all the correct info to set up its' account. When you click on ADD, the account set up wizard will open and it will not be exactly like the above sequence, not to worry, do the best you can. When it is finished, you can click on this accounts "Properties" and follow the outline above and change anything that needs changing. When done and working, you will have two accounts, 1 at Compuserve (your default) & 1 at AT&T ,,, when you check for mail on the Laptop, it will check for mail on both accounts. One problem you may have is trying to reply to a msg. from AT&T ,,, most servers will not "Relay" which means they will not send out a msg. that was not received through their own server. ,,, If this happens, when the "Reply to" msg. is open, look to the far right of the "From:" field, there is a small Down arrow, click on this arrow and select your AT&T account and try again. Good luck Bob Hays _________________________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue M" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 16, 2001 12:29 AM Subject: [OE] reading mail from laptop > Hi, > I got a laptop today that I have connected to a dial up ISP.

Hi, I got a laptop today that I have connected to a dial up ISP. My main PC is connected via AT&T broadband/DSL. The laptop has Windows ME, and OE. How can I receive the same email on it that comes through on the PC? I talked to ATT and they want me to configure it through them which is $14.95 plus .15 a minute. I don't want the ATT service, just the OE, using Compuserve.

UGH-OH ,,, maybe we aren't talking about the same window, box, page or what ever. From what Sheldon just described, you need to enlarge your top preview pane by slowly placing your courser over the horiz. divider line between the upper and lower preview panes ,,, when it turns into a dbl. ended arrow press down your left mouse key, hold & drag down ,,, release mouse where you want the divider. ,,,,,,, The vert. divider is also movable ,, same method. Bob Hays BTW: you want to reduce keystrokes, have you even tried the extraction method ,, don't get any less than this. HANDLING DIGESTS IN Outlook Express 5 +: 1. You can either use your regular "Inbox" or create a special mail folder to hold the individual messages. 2. From your list of Inbox messages select the Digest and double click on it. You MUST dbl.click, do not use the paper clip. 3. In the window that opens, look close, just below the header information there is a small window with all the individual messages listed. 4. Click on one of the messages, then : "Edit\Select All" (this will highlight all the messages). 5. Click on the highlighted messages and Drag & Drop them over and into whichever folder you desire. You MUST Drag and Drop or it will not work ,,,,,,,,,,,, and there they are, just like individually received messages. ,,, doing this does not destroy the digest, you still have the digest just as you received it. you can keep the extracted msg.'s and delete the digest or keep the digest and delete all extracted msg.'s or keep both or delete both. 6. Close the huge Digest window, go to where you dropped them and start reading. PS> before you start this transfer, you may have to move the large digest window over to one side to uncover your regular folders so you can see where to Drop. _________________________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Seldon Parker" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2001 8:16 PM Subject: Re: [OE] Tiny little slits > Hello Kaylene, > With a check mark in the View, Layout, Preview Pane, > sometimes we can see 2 and sometimes we can see 3 DIGEST > mode headings, and on the right hand end of this preview > pane is located the paper clip icon that opens the DIGESTS. > This a.m. a digest with 12 messages opened, one with 18 > messages did not open with the paper clip.

Hello Kaylene, With a check mark in the View, Layout, Preview Pane, sometimes we can see 2 and sometimes we can see 3 DIGEST mode headings, and on the right hand end of this preview pane is located the paper clip icon that opens the DIGESTS. This a.m. a digest with 12 messages opened, one with 18 messages did not open with the paper clip. So just above the paper clip are the 2 up down arrows we click these to scroll through the digest and then have to double click on the messages we wish to read. By the way, I only run my screen in the maximized position. Any suggestions you have on getting the paperclip icon to work on the larger digests would be welcomed with a great big hug. Anything to reduce keystrokes or clicks is always welcome. Seldon Parker, Oakwood, ON. ----- Original Message ----- From: "V. K.

You read it right Kaylene ,,, and I wish it was as simple as that. The length of the subject line appears to have nothing to do with this problem. In my machine, the Attach box is the same height whether maximized or not. (longer but same height) I have determined that the Attach box is self adjusting from 1 subject up to 3 subjects, at 4 or more, the right end scroll bar kicks in. The exception to this is if the overall page size is stretched out wide enough so that the Attach box can accommodate 6 subjects.(a left & right column with 3 sub.'s in each column) The length of the subject line WILL determine if 3 or 4 --> 6 subjects will be displayed, but should not have any effect on how high the Attach box is. If there is 1 subject, the attach box is 1 subject high, with 2, it is 2 high, with 3, it is 3 high with 4 it is still 3 high and the scroll bar appears. If you have enough digests stored with the right number of msg.'s you can test this for yourself by opening one and move the right and/or left page walls in and out and watch what the Attach box does. To test the full range, you will need a digest with only 1 msg., 1 with 2-3, and 1 with 4 up. ,,, if you don't have them, I do. (have digests, will travel) The problem, as I understand it, is even with 4 or more subjects, the Attach box is not high enough for a proper display. Back to the drawing board.

Gee, I thought the question was totally different when I first read the query. This is what I thought the question was: > When the digests from rootsweb arrive, sometimes the titles in the box labeled "Attach", (under the "Subject" box), are in very narrow slits, and I can hardly hit the ("Subject") titles to open the messages. Sometimes everything is fine. What gives? < This happens when someone has sent a query with a "Subject" so long that it brings up the bottom scroll bar on the "Attach" box. What I do is click the "Maximize" button in the top right corner of the open window (to make the window larger) and there is more room for the "Subject" line in the "Attach" box and no need for the bottom scroll bar. It only happens when someone puts too much in their "Subject" line, other times everything is fine. Could Jennifer's problem be this simple though? (Just thinking out loud.)

Wish I had an answer ,,,,, I have tried every thing I know to duplicate your problem but cannot. The only thing I can figure is you have a border line bad file. The first thing to try is run the IE Repair utility: Start / Settings / Control Panel / Add/Remove Programs / Install/Uninstall tab ,, from the list of installed programs, select "Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and Internet Tools" ,, click on the Add/Remove button ,, select the "Repair Internet Explorer" option ,, click OK The utility will either go all the way through or it will abort with an error msg. ,,, record all the details of any error msg. If this does not fix it, try replacing MLANG.DLL ,,, this file is causing OE problems in OE6 and could have gotten corrupt in your system. Go to C:WINDOWS\SYSTEM ,,, find MLANG.DLL ,, COPY it to another folder (for a backup) then go to : http://drd.dyndns.org/dll/winme/_index.html and download that version of MLANG.DLL ( 5.50.4134.100 ) ,,,,,,, replace the one you now have with this new one and see if it corrects your problem. The best way to swap out files is to use SFC ,,,,Start / Run ,, type in SFC ,, run it ,,,,,,,, select the "Extract one file " option ,,, type in mlang.dll for file to restore ,,,, click on Start ,,,, click on Browse for location to "Restore from:", and navigate to folder where you downloaded MLANG.DLL into (all you need is the Folder, not the file itself) .,,, check that the "Save file in:" window says " C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM" ,,,,, click OK ,,,,,,,, if successful ,, Reboot. If this works ,,, then delete that backup copy, it is no good. Please Forward one of those digests to me.

Okay, Bob. I meant it like you do. I was just thinking many digests( I subscribe to so many), so many boxes(slits)..... I know I can set it to allow me to read them the other way, but I don't like to scroll and scroll, etc. I like to be able to pick and choose. That is not my complaint. I just want to know why sometimes the box that lists the titles is so narrow at times and some times not.

Good description Sheldon ,, now I know which window she is talking about, which is what I suspected but wanted to be sure. About all I can say is you have a buggy program and about all you can do is run the repair utility. If that doesn't fix it, then uninstall OE and reinstall it.(last ditch action only) Only one msg at a time can be opened from the paper clip ,,, by left clicking on a msg in the expanded list you get a pop up box with an option to Open or Save To Disk. When you dbl. click on a digest msg. it opens with a list of msg.'s displayed in a small window. It should display 3 msg.'s in the window, but can be made to display 6 by dragging one end of the page outwards to make the page wider.,,,,,,,,,,,, At this point, you can open one msg. at a time to read its' contents. In a digest with many msg.'s, count the key strokes and time involved to open and read 10 msg.'s. OR, you can highlight all the msg.'s, then drag and drop them into any folder under "Local Folders" ,,, from that folder, a single click on each msg. will open it so you can read its' contents, reply to it, print it or what ever. Compare this to the method above for 10 msg.s ,,, doing this does not destroy the digest, you still have the digest just as you received it. you can keep the extracted msg.'s and delete the digest or keep the digest and delete all extracted msg.'s or keep both or delete both. OR, you can select the digest, then do Ctrl+F3 ,, expand page to full screen, and read the entire digest and all msg.'s as one continuos page, but cannot reply or single out any one msg. to take action on. I do not know if any of the above will work in OE6, but will work in OE5+ Bob Hays _________________________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Seldon Parker" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 13, 2001 9:33 PM Subject: Re: [OE] Tiny little slits > Hello Bob, > I know exactly what Jennifer means.

Hello Bob, I know exactly what Jennifer means. When I had OE 4.1 the digests opened up with the paper clip, on the right hand end of the preview pane. When I installed OE 5 and now the beta version 6 the right hand paperclip only opens some of the digest mode emails, it seems that if you have half a page or less the paper clip works. This is only almost so. Some times Lincsgen wont open by the clip for a week or more and Suffolkgen will, then again IOWgen usually opens. I wish that Bill music and gates could find just a bit of room to provide a page or two within his programs that could be clicked upon and it would open up the page with all of the parts named just so we user folks could talk intelligently about the frustrations of various program products. Sorry I got off topic. Jennifer spoke of the narrow slit. When the paper clip does not open the digest we have to double click on the digest mode email this then opens in this slit she so wisely spoke of. If you get the narrow slit you could see only the bottom half of the upper email and the top of the bottom email if you highlight the bottom email it will rise so you can see all of it. Then you can use the up and down arrows on the right hand end. Some times you get a wider slit where you can see almost three emails, but top and bottom are as above described. If you have a solution that will make the paper clip open all digest mode email, I believe thousands will be eternally gratefull.
