I don't know what the technical term for them is so I call them thought bubbles. They are the annoying little boxes that pop when you hover your mouse over an email in Outlook Express. I am pretty sure it is a system wide thing and not unique to OE ... but is there any way to turn them off? I have looked everywhere that I could think of and came up empty. A little help out there?
