Some time ago someone posted a list of Rootsweb lists which I filed but can't find now, of course.

Um, Joan, I made a folder, and plan to put "Help" addresses, and Phone numbers for "help" in it..thought it would save on keeping a whole bunch of papers..(named it "help urls - phone nos") What gave me the idea, was the url you posted below... I didn't really need to keep the whole note, just the addy... Would you please tell me how I do that??? I suppose, I'd better put something Like "Help - outlook express" on it, so I know what it's for... I feel like a real dummy, but I'm still a bit foggy on the whole folders-and-files thing... I looked it up in my "Absolute Beginner's Guide to MS Windows XP", but didn't see anything that really applied here... (don't know if this is where this question goes, but the url is here, ....so..) (when about to send this note, I was looking at spell thingie... it wasn't fond of "URL", said it wasn't in the dictionary, so it suggested everything from "curls" to "Burls"!!!... computers are funny things...)

Hum... is anybody safe anymore? Now this is scarry. http://www.14wfie.com/Global/story.asp?S=3586413&nav=3w6oc5DZ

Yesterday I received emails from two people with whom I correspond and in both cases they asked me why I resent emails that I had originally sent to them in January last. The same thing happened this morning with an email I sent in December last. I looked in my 'sent folder' (which I usually keep for two or three weeks) and there was no evidence that I had resent them at all. Bewildered ............... Any clues anybody? Joe

Q: After I read an email in Outlook Express it disappears from my Inbox. Where does it go? A: We had this happen to one of our WorldStart team members and what was even stranger is that the messages would come up when he did a search. Though the mystery is perplexing, the solution is easy. In Outlook Express go to View/Current View then select "Show all messages". Most likely it accidentally was set to "Hide Read Messages". Thunderbird also has this feature. If your read messages vanish, go to View/Messages and change from "Unread" to "View". Yahoo Mail can also hide unread mail. Just below the folder name (for instance, "Inbox") look for the word "View". If it is set to "Unread Messages" then click the arrow and select "All Messages" from the drop down menu. I guess hiding read messages would be of benefit if you wanted to see only the messages you have yet to read. If you are set to read all messages, then you may want to explore your viewing options (more on that coming up). ~David Have a question for the newsletter?

I use O/Ex and my inbox always shows 11 emails unread even when it is empty. Any idea how i can correct this. Thanks Garth

Hi Courtney - Thanks for replying but this isn't working - I have clicked and clicked MANY times on the faint arrow and it just keeps jumping between 2 of the names I have in my address book and none of them are in alphabetical order at all now.
