Wow, you ladies are up early this morning. Jo, it is o.k. to vent--good for the soul! A couple of ideas: You might download Web of Trust (WOT) that works for both IE and Firefox. That will help you to know who to trust if you decide to do a "fix". I did this once (applied a fix found by Google) and I first set a Restore Point before applying the fix. The fix worked. Another idea is to try a different e-mail client. Incredimail is reported to have improved a lot and is recommended by my stationery site (www.thundercloud.net ) It is free. I have not tried it so can't speak from experience. I still have Windows XP and Outlook Express. Really dread having to go to Windows 7 but I know it will be necessary eventually. Perhaps others will chime in who have actually used a specific fix and/or who use Incredimail.
