OE messages can only be viewed by using OE to read them. Compacting
removes wasted space after deleting messages, (similar to
Defragging), but has no effect in reading messages. They have to be
in a folder in the Folder Tree to be viewed.

Thus the word 'archive' in the OE help index is misleading.
Thanks Bruce.

Peter,
Sorry to use this reply method to get a question across, but I am unable
to figure out how to post a question. Do you happen to know how I am able to
get rid of the pop-up box in Outlook Express that asks "To free up disk
space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This may take up to a few
minutes"? Then I must select "Ok" or "Cancel." If I cancel the pop-up
occurs everytime I close Outlook Express; if I "Ok" it, I lose current emails
in my in box!
