You see... you learn something new every day. By the way... the Smart = Computing magazines are probably, in my opinion, the best computer = magazines out there for the novices. Well, its good for the pro as well. = They have very informative and easy to follow articles such as this one. = If there's one magazine you ever want to get, this is the one. For the much more technical and advanced person, nothing beats Maximum = PC. ____________________________________ Sir Troth ICQ #1717439 AIM/AOL: SirTrothX Yahoo: SirTroth MSN: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxx (do not email me here) My Personal Email: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxx -------------------------------------------------- =20 -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx = [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of cristy Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 10:06 PM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=3DPCTechTalk=3D- Re: outlook express Nice article Sir Troth, I saved it for my own use.
