I sent some pictures attached to a regular e-mail, and the recipient said
there was the icon of eyeglasses "the conversation is watched". But that's a NewsGroup icon. Any idea why that icon would be there? |

You can have the Watch/Ignore column in the regular e-mail folders, (View |
Watch/Ignore), but that has nothing to do with anything on your end. Assuming they are using OE, they should have set: View | Sort By | Received & View | Current View | Show All Messages. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Joy" wrote in message ...

'Conversations' applies to e-mail as well.

Bruce, I just checked mine (out of curiosity) and mine are set that way.
But does that have any effect on why the "eyeglasses" icon would be there? This recipient is someone I help with occasional computer questions, and yes, he does have OE. So what does it mean that it's "watched" ? By whom? And how can he get rid of the icon and/or the "watching"? "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ...

They can either remove the column all together, View | Watch/Ignore |
Uncheck it. Or, click on the spectacles two more times. The first will change it to the Ignore icon, and the second click will leave no icon in the column. Same as a newsgroup. Watch / Ignore explanation: When you want to "watch" a message, click next to the message under the spectacles. Now, watched messages will cause the folder name to change to Red (Default) if there is a reply to that message. You can easilly play around with this on your own machine so you understand it better.

Oh! He bought that computer, used, from someone else, and maybe they had
the message rule. That explains it, thanks. So he can remove the message rule, right? "Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Bruce. Reading on, to what Frank said, if he removes that Message

Unless he wants it, he can remove it. He can also just uncheck it first.
