IE7 is more secure than IE6, but you have done the most important part
with your patches. I see you went to SP3 which is good.

You would want to pursue any specific questions about IE7 in the IE
General newsgroup. (BTW. IE8 was released a few days ago, but I would give
the dust a little time to settle. You will see what I mean by viewing the
newsgroup).

For Internet Explorer questions not pertaining to Outlook Express, please
post to one of the following:

IE General newsgroup, (For IE6 and IE7):
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...plorer.general

On the Web:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...orer. general

I can offer you this though.

Sandi's Installation Tips = Steps #1-8, #10 & #11; take note of #12, then
STOP!
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install
(ignore any references to Vista)

And I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/dow.../getitnow.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update, or this Direct Download
link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...0-081805b2f90b

Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it.

Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after
installing IE7 and install any critical updates offered. If Optional
Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing
it
to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.

You are posting in the future.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I knew that I was far behind
in WinXP patches. I had problems in the past when I tried to get
updates. But I did not realize that my GMT offset was not correctly
reflecting DST. The times of my posting looked correct when I viewed
them. But I guess that's to be expected (GIGO).

FYI, I did succeed in updating to the latest WinXP patches now. So
thanks for motivating me to try again.

Aside.... I did not take the IE7 update, though. I tend to shy away
from all things "7". I know that Excel 2007 is too much a departure from
Excel 2003; many people have complained and reverted. However, I don't
know anything about IE7 v. IE6 in terms of backward compatibility of the
user interface. I will post an inquiry in a more appropriate NG, if I
don't find a constructive thread (or 10 ;-) already. Your insights
would be appreciated. You can post them there or as a response here
(off-topic).

Anyway, that's why you see I am still using OE6. It has been updated.
But I don't know if addresses all of the security concerns that you
allude to.

FYI. Your message headers:

X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2869
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2869

indicate that you are running a very old and less secure version of OE.
I suggest visiting Windows Updates ASAP and at the very least, get the
critical updates.

Then, please check your clock's time and time zone settings. You are
posting in the future.

If you can't do it with this, it can't be done.

When I post a reply to a newsgroup, the original message is included
with the following lead-in:

"Someone" wrote in message
...

I manually remove the text after "wrote" and append a colon (i.e.
"wrote:").

And I would like the lead-in to include the date of original message
being replied to.

Is there a way to do one or both of those automatically?
