Default Making OE work on XP, as it does on Windows 2000...

There was an update some while back that changed templates to appear as
being read and your options were only Forward or Reply. Assuming the XP
machine is otherwise up to date, you just have to give the registry a
little nudge to get things back to normal.

To complete the fix for .eml templates, a registry change is needed. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918766

Or do it the easy way.

Tom Koch also has this information at his site, along with a downloadable
Zip file to do the registry change for you. See:
