asking the same question in multiple newsgroups is OK, and often much more
effective, just not by making separate posts, send the same message to all
required,desired,imagined groups the same way as an email to more than one
person, separate the group names by ';' semi-colons. everyone in each group
sees all the replies, for real difficult problems everyone can see what has
already been tried and whether it worked, (and store the solution for later
use) and you can find all the answers in whatever group you chose to look
in. Added bonus when you need a follow up, you dont have to find which group
the most recent answer was in

One more question.
My computer tech has closed my Preview Pane in Outlook Express. How
did
he do that? For six
years, I single-clicked the mail and looked below to the Preview Pane
to
see
what it looked like, then deleted it or just read it in the Preview
Pane
(I
had the pane quite large). Occasionally, for large e-mail, I would
double-click the message and open it up to a full page by itself.
Tech told me that when I click the messages and see them below in the
Preview Pane, I am releasing any viruses, trojans, etc., at that
point.
I
think when I first received my computer my Outlook Express opened in
that
format. Folders on the left, messages on the right and the Preview
Pane
open.
So, just clicking the message and looking at what it is in the Preview
Pane
is causing me problems?
Just want to verify this and I find this new way, just seeing if I
recognize
the mailer before I open the message, very strange at this point.
So, for my normal e-mail, he has hidden the preview pane. When I
switch
to
the msnews.microsoft newsgroups folder, like this one, the preview
pane
is
still open but it says MESSAGE HAS NOT BEEN DOWNLOADED - Outlook
Express
has
not downloaded this message, To Download the Message, Click here.

So, is my tech correct and I was opening myself up to bad things for
using
that Preview Pane to view my mail for 6 years? Should I get rid of
it
in
my msnewsgroups, also? If so, how did he do that? I know when I
had
the Preview Pane open for all my mail I never had to "Click Here" to
see
the
message, it would just be in the Preview Pane if I clicked on the
message
up
top.
thanks again,
kathryn
