Hi I have a problem in my Outlook Express. One day I marked an e-mail as unread. that was fine but then I could not get it to revert to Read! Fair enough again I deleted it. Now some of my e-mails odd ones, come in as new and I read them and then it goes to marked as unread and I cannot shift this mark from it. Only thing I can think of is that when I first marked one as unread, whatever configuration it got, then when an e-mail comes in it is picking up this configuration. I thought it might have something to do with a particular thread also and deleted all in the thread but the strange thing is that occassional one coming in and once read being marked as unread. Sorry to be so repetative but I am trying to get muy point across. Eleanor -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 5.9 million users fighting spam.
