eml files read-only
I'm having eml issues and looking for some suggestions. I have new and
a bunch of previously saved eml files that when launched from IE will only open in OE in read-only mode. None of the eml files have read-only properties and when I create and save new eml files using OE they also only open read-only. I'm open to any suggestions? It's me against the computer and I seem to be losing.... thanks in advance for any suggestions. Stan the Man |

Your problem may be caused by the update KB911567 introduced on 4/11/06. Try
removing it as per this link and see if the problem persists: http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#14 If that resolves it, for now, you may want to configure Automatic Updates to either "Notify Only" or "Download but do not install". You can also choose not to download or install 911567 and check: Do not tell me about it again.

Mr. Bruce Hagen,
I don't want to be critical, but how can opening up your system to vulnerabilities that were patched by KB911567 ever be considered a "fix?" MicroSoft broke something that many of us use virtually every day. I would certainly hope that someone in your position would make sure that they get the feedback so as to fix what they broke. I'd like to thank you for posting information that showed WHY it was broken though. "Stan" wrote: Bruce, very cool. that was the fix. I owe you.... your the man.... Stan |

IMHO, MS felt the patch was a necessity while I do not. MS created this
patch with absolutely no input from any OE MVP. (Remember we don't work for MS. We are only volunteers). I have templates of my own and had to uninstall the patch. If you have been reading these posts, you will also note that many people have lost their Address Books due to this patch. MS is getting plenty of feedback and personal opinions from us on this issue. How much they listen to us, and what they will do about it is an uncertainty. -- Bruce Hagen MS MVP - Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "JefeQuickTech" wrote in message ...

Well said. Wow. If they don't listen to us (the customer) nor to you (an OE
MVP), to whom do they listen? Maybe it is better to run with a system that they consider slightly vulnerable, but functional. Too bad we have to make a choice. The breaking of the templates apparently is not 100% consistent. Nor is the address book problem consistent. I sent an email notification to my staff about this issue as a heads-up. One just told me that their system is working the same as it always did...even with KB911567 installed. Any ideas of why that would be? One last thing: Thanks for volunteering your time to help.

Not everyone lost their address book. If your staff member is able to use
..eml templates, I would only venture a guess that it is due to the way your network is set up. As for volunteering, you're welcome. -- Bruce Hagen MS MVP - Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "JefeQuickTech" wrote in message ... Well said. Wow.

"JefeQuickTech" wrote in message ... Well said. Wow. If they don't listen to us (the customer) nor to you (an OE MVP), to whom do they listen? They dance to their own "music" and don't listen to anyone sometimes. There are few more p i s s e d off by this than the MVPs, and we have let them know in no uncertain terms. Maybe it is better to run with a system that they consider slightly vulnerable, but functional. Too bad we have to make a choice. I'm not worried about the "vulnerabilities". Note that their KB article makes no reference whatsoever to this unsent issue. The day I found out about it, I updated my website: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#14 The breaking of the templates apparently is not 100% consistent. Nor is the address book problem consistent. I sent an email notification to my staff about this issue as a heads-up. One just told me that their system is working the same as it always did...even with KB911567 installed. Any ideas of why that would be? The address book issue is inconsistent and no one can seem to figure it out. The unsent issue is very consistent, but some have reported in Win2000 that the issue is not present there. I haven't tested that. steve One last thing: Thanks for volunteering your time to help.
