Re: Problem with Outlook Express 6.0 running on Win98

[Dan <dan27649@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, first of all, it's Microsoft, so caveat emptor.  Dunno if it's a
virus; that wouldn't be the typical symptoms of a virus. Just a WAG, but it
could be a bug or possibly corruption of her mail file.

Probably not the answer you or your friend is looking for, but you might
want to try one of a few free alternatives.  The one I can speak for is
Mozilla Thunderbird.  I don't know if Outlook Express has the same "Infect
Me!" sign taped to its back like Outlook does, but I was never a fan of
O.E.'s UI.  Everything I've heard about Tbird is that it's safer to use than
Outlook, and that may hold true as well for O.E.

My .02,
Dan
