restoring OE
When reformatting a computer is there a way to save OE settings and messages
and address book externally and then restore them to the reformatted machine? I think the .wab file will save the address book but not sure on all else. When XP and OE have been reinstalled will File/Import work for folders and newsgroup info? Mark
