The 3D is becuz of your mail format...either you are sending in html or you have your margins set wrong...it happens a lot in here. It also happens if you reply to an existing post that used html instead of starting your own new thread with plain text. As to your question....do you have Outlook set up to remember the passwords?

I use four email accounts and had them set to check automatically every = 2 minutes. I do not save my passwords. The problem: When I have first = opened Outlook 2002, it runs through the sequence very quickly, popping up the password enter box for all four accounts. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
