I've dealt with it on some of my friend's computers. I work as a cheap tech on call, working for donations for people who otherwise couldn't afford machines. I teach them to use them and such. I have tried in every case to talk them into using Eudora (No, I DONT want to teach them DOS or Linux, they're hard enough to teach in Win$) but time and again they insist on using OE. That's what their friends use. That's what their ISP talks them into using. I've found one can set a deliberate attachments folder rather than the buried in "somewhere-land" folder it usually uses. I know where that is, but it's damned cryptic and hard to remember and I sure couldn't teach them to go find it and you still would have trouble finding the folder with the attachments recently recieved. Anyway, by setting a deliberate folder and then turning off preview pane it is possible to check out attachments and delete the assorted weird ones from the folder before examining the messages. The best answer though if you're going to insist on using that POS OE is to, again, turn off the preview pane and delete unread every message containing unsolicted messages after composing a message to the sender requesting that they forewarn and resend if the attachment was important. I would say it's time OE was rewritten to stop displaying html interactive content. People can live without it! I wish I were a glow worm, 'Cause a glow worm's never glum.
