Ken,
Thanks. Yes, I have that set too. It seems Windows Messenger starts up
though every time OE is opened. Does it do the same for you?

Tools, then Options, on general tab uncheck "Automatically log on to
Window
Messenger", click Apply.

This seems to work for me, hope is does for you.

| Bruce,
| Thanks for the reply. I tried deleting all from the Address Book. That
| seemed to work OK, but I got back out of OE and back in and still have
| unknown contacts there.
| I wonder if this has something to do with Windows Messenger. Every time
I
| fire up OE, WM starts and I get these notices that people in the contact
| list have signed on/sent msgs, etc.
| I really want to totally get rid of this contact list.
| Again thanks for any help you can provide.
| Regards, Tim K.

every

Delete.

| Your choice: In Tools | Options | Send, you might want to uncheck:
| Automatically put people I reply to in my Address Book. That's
probably
| how so many got there.
