This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97-2003 from the Office
family for Windows PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in one
of
these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...blic.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress
for OE 5.5x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...ublic.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress
for OE 6.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...;newsgroupsmicrosoft.public.internet.mail.mac
for the Macintosh version of OE
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...ess.mac&SLCID=US&sd=GN&id=fh;en-us;newsgroups

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the SWEN virus, all mail sent to my personal account will be deleted
without reading.

Ask in a newsgroup for Outlook Express. This newsgroup is for Outlook.
Outlook is a component of Microsoft Office and is a PIM (personal
information manager) that includes e-mail. Outlook Express is a component
of Internet Explorer and is an e-mail and news client. Outlook and Outlook
Express are not the same product, nor is one a full version and the other a
light version of the same product, nor are they derivatives or siblings of
each other. They are separate products, just like Word and WordPerfect are
separate products. Outlook you have to buy. Outlook Express you get for
free.

Since I see the header "X-Newsreader: Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000" in
your post, it appears you used the web interface to Microsoft's newsgroups.
You navigated the wrong route. Look under IE for OE.
