I have been trying to replicate your problem by changing settings in Tools | Options, and in IE | Tools | Internet Options. As yet, I have not seen the prompt you see. I will keep trying. I have no problem sending a page.

I will point out though, while I have SP2 and all the updates, {Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2670}, you do not. {Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2180}. So I wouldn't blame it on SP2. Even though you lack some patches, this is not the reason either.

The only exception that comes to mind *IF* this started immediately after installing SP2, is that it was downloaded with your anti-virus program enabled, which may have prevented a clean install.

None of this really answered my question, I used to be able to send web pages and pictures via email, now it seems with all the sp2 upgrades, and so called security junk, I can no longer do this, do I need to uninstall all the windows updates including sp2, because I want my windows to work the way I want it to, not the way Microsoft thinks it should. I am not concerned about security, I have nothing on my computer that really needs protecting. Thanks

Just curious, but why is being courteous in sending a link "not acceptable?" Why should someone have to download a perhaps bloated page with embedded graphics and sound files when a link can be sent? It should be up to the recipient as to whether or not they wish to see the webpage.

Are you aware, you can cut/paste the text from a webpage into a html formatted message? The graphics will not be sent since they require a filepath.
