Do not think there will be any upgrade.

Reading previous post suggest this is the last version of Outlook Express.

Thanks for the feed back.

I hadn't noticed the issue with the autocomplete since I don't normally
use that. But I did find that when you open the message from the Drafts
folder and the group list is still there (it will now be underlined
whereas with the original autocomplete it was plain text) if you save to
back to the drafts folder (File, Save), close the message and open it
again from Drafts, the list will now be expanded. I suspect it has to
do with the way autocomplete works. It partly happens as you type and
partly as the message is written to the Outbox or Drafts folder.

As for your second questions, many of us here are MVPs who are folks
like you who are somehow attached to Microsoft.

OK Michael,
Thanks for that explanation. It's sometimes those exact details that make
all the difference.
