Thanks for hitting the nail right smack in the middle with the hammer -
unchecking the appropriate option set things right immediately.

For reasons best known only to the the higher other self that co-exists in
my body, I selected that option when adding news-servers to OE a few days
back.

I shall be installing MS Office 2003 (either SBE or Pro Full) shortly and
that should take care of the spelling thing too.

Regards and thanks very much for the quickness in helping out.

What I described is using HTML. If you are reading in Plain Text, the
options a

Grayed Out:

Copy
Save Picture As
Save Background

Select all should be dark and functional.

Mine does not show what it does on yours. All I can see are the Copy,
Save
Picture, Save background (greyed out on yours, as you say). I don't see
anything at all as on the other computers I use (Win 2003 Std, Win XP
Pro,
Win XP MCE, Win 2000 Pro...)

I understand the part about the spell check - maybe that will change if
I
install MS Office 2003 SBE (or the Pro full version) on it sometime
later.

But the right-click context menu does bother me - though this is not the
primary web-browsing or usenet-reading computer here.

Regards and thanks.

On mine, it shows:

Copy Shortcut
Save Target As
Select All
Save To Favorites

Grayed out a

Copy
Save Picture
Save Background

This is normal. Is that what you see? As far as spelling:

OE 6 does not come with its own spell check. You need Word or an MS
Office
program. The spell checker in the basic Works 4 through 6 will work
with
OE. Older and newer versions do not. If you have Works Suite, that
includes MS Word and a spell checker that does work with OE.

You can also download a free spell check at one of these sites.

you
type).

I just noticed a little peculiarity in one machine running Windows
Server
2003 Web Edition.

The context menu that comes up on right-clicking any URL within a
message
in
OE 6 shows only Copy, Save Picture As, Save Background As, and, Select
All.
The options like Save Target As, Copy Shortcut ... are not there.

Also, the Spelling Check does not lunch. The option is greyed out in
Tools
when composing a message. And I cannot find any Spell Check options in
ToolsOptions at all!

This does not affect functionality of this machine or OE itself any.
However, OE is configured for the Microsoft news-server and it would
be
helpful if the options mentioned here were functional and available.
There
are no server based email accounts on this machine. MS Office is not
installed on this machine.

This very-recently installed machine is patched with all MS updates
available and has SP 1 installed.

TIA
