Default If your OE is Slow Opening Email - how I fixed it

Short version:

I ran sysinternals 'filemon' and saw that a billion fonts were being loaded
when I tried to open an email! (I'm a font addict)

I used a program to managage fonts and moved almost all but the most
necessary fonts out of c:\windows\fonts to a new font dir and VOILA! Almost
everything boots MUCH faster.

There is a weird bug that occasionally shows. OE sometimes has to load up
all the fonts before starting. Try going to Tools | Options | Read | Fonts
and set it to Western as default. If its already set to that, then do it
again. See if that fixes it.

I was so happy to see your message this morning about having one too many
Fonts...... Ha my wife also collects fonts. I have been looking at various
forum and working with Microsoft for weeks trying to fix her slow opening of
the first email message. I didn't remove her fonts from the windows file
(but was ready to) but I read what Steve said about resetting the Western
Euopean font default and like you said VIOLA! her mail now opens as it
should. Thank you for you for sharing your experience on the subject.

Roger
