Assuming that OE is running in the Restricted Zone (which is the default)
go into IE Internet Options, Security, select the Restricted Zone and
make sure that drag-and-drop is set to ENABLE. It won't work if set to
Prompt.

I just tested OE6 with IE7 and it works with that setting.

Windows Mail is a Vista only application.

There is Windows Live Mail (WLM) which can be downloaded and runs on XP,
Vista and Windows 7.

By the way, the same settings (Read in Plain Text and drag-and-drop IE
Restricted Zone security setting) have the same effect in WLM as to
whether or not you can drag links to IE.

I have not selected the Read All Message In Plain Text option. I am
trying to
drag web links from HTML emails in OE6 to the IE7 window but dragging
stopped
working. It worked all the time until just a couple of days ago.

Maybe the quickest way to fix the problem will be to reinstall OE6
because
that hopefully will remove all the existing settings in the Windows
registry
related to how OE6 works on my computer. How do I reinstall OE6?

Another question - is Windows Mail better than OE6? If so, can I install
WM
considering that I have Windows XP SP3? Where can I download WM from?

Thanks.

In Outlook Express in Windows XP SP2+ or Windows 2003 SP1, the
following
features do not work when Tools, Options, Read, Read All Message In
Plain Text is selected (For a quick workaround for the current message,
press ALT+Shift+H)
- Displaying attached images at the bottom of the message window
- Visited Links changing colors (Tools, Options, Security, Block
Images
.... will also prevent visited links from changing colors)
- Right click a Link and select Add to Favorites, Copy Shortcut or
Save
Target As
- Dragging a Link from the message to IE or another program
=============
- Unscramble (ROT13)
- View, Text Size (however, holding down Ctrl while using mouse scroll
wheel still works)
- Print Selection to print only the highlighted part of a message
- Edit, Find, Text in this Message (the message must also be open in
its own window to use this option)
- Using Space bar to advance to the next message when the focus is in
the Preview Pane

For security reasons, the Read All Messages in Plain Text uses the
RICHED DLL rather than MSHTML DLL. RICHED has much less functionality
than MSHTML and so is less likely to have security holes.
