It most definitely is offensive. So are your comments such as "If I could
understand the foreign rubbish".
The point is that this is a NG to help people, and if they accidently
stumble onto an English NG when they speak French, the idea should be to
help them and not refer to them offensively as you continue to do over and
over again.
I don't care what language is involved, I'm here to try and help people.
These are Microsoft Help groups. If you don't want to help, then why bother
coming here?

You wrote I also find his choice of words regarding "Johnny Foreigner"
to be offensive It is only a reference to someone who doesn't speak
English not offensive!

I also find his choice of words regarding "Johnny Foreigner" to be
offensive,
and "I don't mind at all"...who does he think he is? Certainly not a
moderator.

Bill:
AFAIC, your post is as much of an unnecessary download as the OP's. How
many people post here with an IE question just because the name of the
newsgroup is confusing.
If you want to be productive, point them in the direction of the correct
newsgroup, in this case:
OE6 French Newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...utlookexpress6
Otherwise, you are wasting just as much bandwidth as the poster.

This is a predominantly an English speaking NewsGroup. I don't mind at
all
Johnny Foreigner posting to this NG but you should have the common
sense to
try do it in English. That would save us having to download
unnecessary posts
and increase the possibility of you getting a reasonable response.
Alternatively you could post to a NG for your own language.
Regards.

j'ai pris des photos avec mon numérique et losque je veux les envoyer,
c'est très long et très souvent refusé par la messagerie à qui je veux
les envoyer. Je les ai mis dans un fichier compressé, mais la taille
du fichier est toujours aussi importante et le problème reste le même.
Merci de me donner des pistes
