A senior I know has OE 6.0 as his email client. When he gets an email that has an html link in the bodyand clicks on it, his system (a new Dell 4600 with XP Home) opens IE 6 in a window BEHIND all currently open windows (he sometimes misses the opening). I had him send me the email and it opens on top of all my currently open windows on my XP Home machine. Ever seen this behavior and any clues how to solve it? I have visited OE MVP sites and google with no luck to date.

I am attempting to schedule a bat file to kick off PowerGen at a specified time. I have tested the bat file and I know it works correctly. I have also tested the task with the "Run" command from the right click and it executes successfully. I can run the scheduled tasks while I am logged on to the computer. The scheduled tasks will not run when I am logged off of the computer. I do not have have "Run only if logged on" check box checked. I do have it enabled. I have entered userid/password information that is required for it to use the network. I have gone through C:\Windows\Tasks and from the menu Advanced->AT Service Account and entered userid and password information there as well. I have tried changing the account information on the Task Scheduler service from the service account to a specified userid and password ( same as above) but then when I attempt to restart the service to have the settings take effect, I get an error 1079 - account information does not match other services in this project. I'm really at my wit's end and have spent too much time on this. Please Help! - 4. java runtime

1.Outlook Express changes HTML tags to HTML code if the Outlook Express header is missing
I have a client who is unable to read many of their HTML e-mails with HTML formatting. On their problem computer, Outlook Express changes HTML tags to HTML code (i.e., < for <) if the Outlook Express header is missing. Example / reproducing: Working computer: Create Mail. Format -> Rich text. Click the "Source" tab (make sure view -> source edit is enabled) Delete everything that's there (ctrl-a, del) Type "<br>test" WITHOUT the quotes Click the "edit" tab The display shows a blank line then the word "test" without the quotes Click the "Source" tab. You will see the proper headers inserted automatically, and "<BR>test" (without the quotes) appears between the <body></body> tags Problem computer: Create Mail. Format -> Rich text. Click the "Source" tab (make sure view -> source edit is enabled) Delete everything that's there (ctrl-a, del) Type "<br>test" WITHOUT the quotes Click the "edit" tab *** The display shows "<br>test" without the quotes Click the "Source" tab. *** You will see the proper headers inserted automatically, and "<PRE><br>test</PRE>" (without the quotes) appears between the <body></body> tags The working computer and problem computer are running identical versions of Windows and Outlook Express. Both are the latest and running with all the latest software and security updates from Windows Update. I've side by side compared the "about" screens on Outlook Express and Internet Explorer and I see that both are identical. I have also side-by-side compared the settings on both machines and also the registry keys. Both are running with 100% identical settings and registry keys. If e-mails contain html and do not include the proper Outlook Express headers, my client sees html code. The client gets a lot of HTML e-mails without Outlook Express headers and this is a MAJOR issue for them. I have spent several days researching this and cannot find a solution. The most obvious thing to check is to make sure "Tools" -> "Options" -> "Read" -> "Read all messages in plain text" is UNCHECKED. It is. I also tried creating a new message store and switching to a newly created identity. This also didn't solve the problem. I am hoping someone here might have the answer.
2.html, how to send message as html from Outlook Express
Has anyone ever done this successifully? If so, how. Selecting RichText(html)does nothing that I can see. I've seen suggestions from several people as to how it may be done. It surprises me that no one seem to know how to do it!
3.Internet Explorer and Outlook Express got strange behaviors when words are marked
4.Outlook express 6 bizarre behavior of news reader
Has anyone else had a problem with Outlook Express after their news provider has made a server change? My news provider warned users to delete and recreate the news server account since all message ID's would change. So I deleted the account then recreated it (verifying that I used identical settings). Results: - news server login OK (account and password valid) reread of newsgroups list completes with no problem. - enormous message counts - millions - when you subscribe to any group - then after about 30 seconds a reasonable count (however it is completely different if you delete and resubscribe) - after another delay nothing actually downloads and then not even a 0 is left as count. As if everything has been read. - no error messages at all either from outlook or the server. - my other news provider using the same OE 6 software still works fine (as you can see from the posting of this message). Teranews (my news provider) seems unwilling to respond despite sending several messages and have not mentioned any problems on their status page. I cannot find a single page describing a similar Outlook or news server problem on the internet! I am using XP Pro and Outlook Express 6. Perhaps outlook keeps some information concerning the old news server message headers even when it is deleted and then reuses it on recreate? However I tried a single news group that I had never used before and the problem is identical. The initial massive count for any group is always a bigger number (38,000,000+) it seems that all messages on the provider are initially being seen as valid for any group! I tried a delete account - logout - clear temporary files and then a recreate but with the same effect. Its 5 days since the news provider changed its server so its hard to believe they could leave millions of paying users without a service. Someone out there must have an idea? (if possible short of a complete reinstallation of outlook and a risk of losing all my emails and my working news account)
5.Outlook Express 6 undesired behavior
When I finish reading a message in OE and either hit the Delete or Next buttons, the next message opens at the last screen -- as if I had scrolled to the end of the message. So I have to scroll to the top to get to the beginning. This behavior started after I upgraded my Windows XP to SP2. Is there a solution?Thanks, Annice
