Sorry Tony I an still a little lost on this one. Frank did an excellent job and as a result brought the whole thing to my attention. I have been aware of this facility within Outlook Express but never understood what it was all about. I want to tell a friend of mine about the list and how invaluable it is to be a member. She has just got a computer and JAWS. Some of you will doubtless know her but I do not want to give her name at this point. If someone can give me the information I could forward it to her. Many thanks. I an sending this through my mobile phone and so do not have the details to hand. Eleanor and Happy New Year to everyone on the list -original message- Subject: [vip_students] Re: outlook express message From: "tony sweeney" <tonysweeney1@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: 04/01/2009 12:53 am Eleanor, The view menu! It sounds a little more complicated than you think! Thought that Frank did a good job of it though! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eleanor Burke" <eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2009 12:18 AM Subject: [vip_students] Re: outlook express message > OH yes thanks Frank that message comes up for me too but what I did not > know know was about the way you were describing where there is a thread on > e-mails it all gets put together into one.
