Cristy, this is good advice from Cris. The preview icon on the toolbar can be toggled on and off. I turn off preview when I close OE , then when I open it again I can check the list of mail received and delete anything weird-looking before it opens. Then you can toggle the preview back on. ~Glo -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
