Tried that.

The box is unchecked and the annoying boxes still appear. I seem to
recall
having this problem years ago and there was some way (?) to shut these
things off.

Thanks -

They're called Tooltips. You can open Outlook Express' menu to
Tools/Options/Read and uncheck the option to "Show Tooltips."

Greetings:

When composing and I move the cursor into the "To", "Cc", or "Subject"
field, an annoying little pop-up (yellow) message box appears telling me
what to enter into these fields. Is there some way to shut off this
feature?

Thanks

L
