Hi all

I've just finished reading all the unread postings on this ng. Before I
started there were 5 unread (5 was in bold in brackets) and nothing would
bring them up. Now I've gone through there are now 7 that I can't read. Why
is that?

Ask in an Outlook Express newsgroup, since that's what you're using to post.

Your headers say Outlook EXPRESS .

Outlook has no news group ability - it passes it off to Outlook Express, as
shown by your headers:

Outlook Express 6, Brian.

Maybe I'm being too sensitive, but were you rapping my knuckles then? And
if so, why? I'm just trying to get an answer and you seem to be the most
knowledgeable here...

As far as I know I am accessing this newsgroup through my copy of Outlook
which is on the Office 2000 CD and now on my desktop. Does that somehow
route it through OE?

I was "rapping your knuckles", since you insisted you were using Outlook
2000 for news when others told you you were really using Outlook Express. I
had you prove it to yourself so that you'd stop doubting those who knew
better.

Outlook which is on the Office 2000 CD and now on my desktop. Does

The so-called "Outlook Newsreader" is simply Outlook Express being run with
the /outnews command line switch, which slightly reskins Outlook Express and
removes the mail functionality for that particular instance. As such, the
proper place to ask questions, is, therefore, the Outlook Express newsgroup,
just as I and others told you. This newsgroup is not for Outlook Express
questions.

Thanks Brian. Please bear in mind that people post questions here because
they need to know something -- ie they are (at the moment) less au fait than
you are.

I thought I was using Outlook, because that's the icon I use to get into
this, in preference to OE which came with my OS, and which I rapidly stopped
using for email, perceiving it to be inferior.

If someone kind had told me that (and possibly how) I get automatically
re-routed to Outlook Express I would have understood.

The work you and other MVPs do is very much appreciated but do remember that
some people (like the hapless new poster the other day to whom you replied,
perhaps a bit tersely, with words to the effect of 'It's been asked and
answered dozens of time on this ng, you mutt') are, in comparison *new* and
less clued up than you. A bit of patience would not go amiss.

And now, if I haven't p*d you right off, perhaps you (or someone else) could
briefly explain *why* I get the OE newsreader when I go through Outlook
2000, and what to do about it..

BTW, I used to know a Tillman in London, young antique dealer in Chelsea.
Any relation?
