Re: [RCSE] Off subject: Help with MS Outlook Express Email Problem?
>Anybody what's available for the Mac? (Jim Holliman) Macs won't have the same level of problem so you don't need things like AdAware. You hear the pundits saying that its because there's just not enough systems out there for people to worry about messing with them but that's not really true. Its the architecture of Windows, the "Gates Vision Thing" that's the problem. Windows assumes that external vendors should be able to -- in fact have the right to -- take over the operation of your system. (A traditional model is that no external agent has any rights on the system at all unless explicitly given them by the system's owner.) If Microsoft changed their philosophy then all these problems could be fixed. Unfortunately this mindset is now expanding into "Digital Rights Management". This isn't what it seems to be (content protection for legitimate copyright holders) but rather a sea change in how your computer's used where users effectively rent use from providers who control what runs on the system and how you use it. This is seen as a major profit center by numerous companies so the problem's likely to get a lot worse before it gets better. (DRM is more pervasive than computers, BTW. Its not been more intrusive because of consumer reaction (negative) which might derail it before it gets pervasive -- there's still too much legacy kit around, older analog televisions and radios, that sort of thing.)

Dito I Use Eudora and Firefox. E-Mail: I have the free Eudora with the add at home and the paid for Eudora at work. I've had not problems with it at all. Web: I've been using firefox for about 6 months. I use if for most things, every once in awhile I find a web page that is broken when using Firefox and have to fire up Microsoft Internet exploder. This only happens about twice a month. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Yep. What he said. Since Eudora's a commerical package Not necessarily. You can use the freebee version. You get a little ad in the lower left hand corner. you might want to experiment with Mozilla's offerings -- the Firefox browser I use FoxFire and love it. and Thunderbird mail program. Only tried the beta version and had a few hand-ups.The regular release is out and should be better. You might also try going to Lavasoftware: http://www.lavasoft.de/news/product/info/ and downloading the free/personal version of the program Ad-Aware SE. It will clean up all the spyware and cookies that can screw up a system. If you've been using IE you will be stunned at what get's through and becomes a permanent part of your computer.

Re: [RCSE] Off subject: Help with MS Outlook Express Email Problem?
Does anybody have Robert's phone number? I have seen this happen and I can
help him work around it and get rid of the problem, but he may not be able
to receive any emails including the recent replies to the list.

Subject: [RCSE] Off subject: Help with MS Outlook Express Email Problem?
Can someone point me in the right direction to correct a problem that I am
having. Just recently, I have start getting emails in my inbox (17) emails
each time I complete a send receive command. At first I thought they were
coming into the server that I use, but checking it vie the web the emails
do not appear. The emails do not have anything list in the TO, From, or
Subject line. And the the text below is listed in the body of the mail.
The test is the same information that is seen when looking at the mesage
properties an info about the source. The only item that appears to change
is the Message ID: which increments by (1) for each email. The same number
of emails appear everytime I complete a connection to the server to check
for mail. I am running Norton Iinternet Security, just did a scan with
nothing found, I also running Windows XP with full updates. The problem
just started one or two days ago. Not sure where to look to stop them or
what is causing them.

Just trying to give good advice, I notice the same thing when I stopped using Outlook. I have a bunch of web browser installed because I have to test on them, I just have to surf more carefully with some of them then others. Actually, I am quite platform neutral. I have various flavors of Windows, Mac OS X, and unix running on the home and office network. Since Eudora's a commerical package you might want to experiment with Mozilla's offerings -- the Firefox browser and Thunderbird mail program. (www.mozilla.org). Try downloading Thunderbird and running it to see if the 17 free mails go away. There is a lite (free) version of Eudora to try this with too... but I have no experience with Thunderbird. I have heard about it, and know people that like it. You might try bugging Symantec (Norton)..I have seen updates of their software behaving very badly, up to and including causing a system to lock up completely. Good advice... same observations. The best security you can buy for your computer is an external router, one of those Linksys boxes or similar. They're not that easy or rewarding to hack and they remove the firewall from your computer. Also good advice, I've been doing the above for many years.

They're not that easy or rewarding to hack and they remove the firewall from your computer. Software like firewalls just doesn't integrate well with Windows -- the fact that companies can do it at all is almost miraculous -- so its likely to be imperfect as best, it better to move the functionality to a system that's better able to handle (the router). If you then run the non-Microsoft mail and browser software with appropriate (default) settings you'll find that a lot of the problems and junk -- popups, junk mail and the like -- will just go away. You may lose a tiny bit of functionality -- I can't play some streaming video in the Firefox browser, for example -- but its a small price to pay to have a working computer.
