Simply create a txt file on your desktop, such as test.txt. Then, select Tools ( at the top of the Outlook express ), then options, then signatures. At the bottom, one shall see a radio button titled File. choose this, and then browse to find your test.txt file. Select ok. Once one is out of the options, delete the test.txt file.
Now every time one sends a message through email, this annoying box will pop up, stating that the signature file could not be found, and thus the feature is disabled. While it is certainly annoying, it will prevent email viruses from sending outbound mail through outlook express. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kehoe <ke...@ticon.net> To: <silver-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2001 8:17 AM Subject: Re: CS>VIRUS > Would you explain in detail how to do this.
