Just becuz they contain live links does NOT mean they are html. Plain text can certainly contain live links. I assure you that you are NOT receiving messages from this list in html. This topic is now closed....this is an OE problem, I assure you...and OE has NOTHING to do with this list becuz it is not part of MS Office. Linda F.

E-mail posts on this list arrive as html, not text as Greg suggests. They contain live links to Linda's business, etc. I cannot find out what files are being overloaded. When I click on either of the two posts in question, whether to read, check properties, or delete, Outlook Express crashes. I have scanned the partition in question, and it is virus free. I am wondering if there indeed is something in these posts as nothing else triggers the mass filling of my C drive.
