The quick answer is no. Support for OE6 is about over
and no further updates are planned AFAIK. However, in
glancing at your other posts, it's not bugs in OE that
are your problem; the fault lies elsewhere, so don't
give up. I see some knowledgeable folks responded to
you and perhaps there are good answers there.

Oh yeah, like that was a specific request regarding some problem in
operation or behavior that you don't like. Gee, my car needs to be
fixed. Says nothing about what is broken, does it? If you want to
rant, at least be a bit more detailed in your rant. In the meantime,
read the following articles:

Or was the point of your post to divulge your unmunged email address
to the spambots that roam the newsgroups to harvest email addresses?

Well he did reply to me in Help & Suport on a different topic. We had
quite a dialogue. Perhaps he's wary of bears with a colonial sense of
humour?

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled.

Yes, it is . . . on four different computers. It must be restarted
regularly to keep working.

Out of the blue I get "This message is no longer available" on every
message I try to read. As soon as I close the program and restart it
everything works for a while.

It might not be the best e-mail program in the world, but it's not
broken. Is yours?

It aint broke. Why fix it?

It doesn't trim quotes (maybe that isn't "broken";
but it is a design
flaw).

It doesn't filter on most of the useful message
header lines (maybe
that isn't "broken"; but it is a design flaw).

What it is: An 'el cheapo' mail client of very
limited capability, and
should be immediately replaced by anybody who needs
real capability
in a mail client. Even Mozilla Thunderbird is
superior.

I was with you until you said TB was superior. I
always ended up coming back to OE no matter what other
ones I tried. I find OE with OEQuoteFix to be "close
enough" to what I need (bottom posting, treat the sigs,
color the text, etc.) and like the increases
functionality and features it provides when they are
properly used. I gree it's cheap (it's free with the
OS or for download), and could be more user friendly
for the uninitiated and definitely is poor to pathetic
for creating rules, but when I also couple it to an app
to work with blocklists (which will also work for TB et
al BTW), it becomes GREAT and the need to write rules
just completely goes away.
As in sex, it's more how you use it than how
powerful it is. For me, it's the best of all worlds.
Oh, I also bounce back and forth between OE and
Outlook, once I fiogured out how to make them play
nicely and not steal each other's thunder; again, user
freindliness missing for the beginners, but easy to do
once you learn the ropes.

My 2 ¢ anyway
