Noel,

Was this *ever* at Windows Updates? I never saw it there. Just picked it up
from Kristen in the Pvt. newsgroup.

Did you close OE and then see the prompt to compact? And if so, did you
check OK and let it compact, or did you open OE and do it manually? If
you used the Compact Prompt, you should not see that for another 100
closings, but manually, you will see it again.

Post back and elaborate, because there is a fix if you did it manually.

AFAIK, It is only at the download center. ( Patch KB918651:
http://tinyurl.com/mx3r2 ). See my latest reply to MargM. It's a two part
process.

Only if I have problems with my address book or use emails as template, yes?

I read that. I use signatures rather than templates so do you think it's
worth changing the registry?

Sigs and templates are completely different items. A template could be a
blank e-mail with a special background, or a standard message saved so you
only have to enter an address to send it. These remain on your Desktop, or
wherever you save them. I have quite a few. If you ever had a use for
something like that, you will need the reg hack. It won't hurt to do it and
if you look at Toms site, he has a downloadable Zip file that all you have
to do is Run it and the registry change is made. No muss. No fuss.
