Re: Problem with Outlook Express 6.0 running on Win98 -- PCTECH

Don, thanks for your answer. The problem is she has a "legal" problemand needs to "demonstrate" she sent a given mail at a certain date, andif she prints it then it shows as having been sent TODAY... whichdoesn't help at all. And her ISP, obviously, does not keep a copy ofall mails sent by his clients...For the future, she may migrate to Win/XP, or use Mozilla, or whatever,but the problem is with mails already sent time ago, and now she can'tdemonstrate she sent that one one year ago, even though she did.

Thanks anyway,
Antonio

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.

A friend of mine has a strange problem using her OutlookExpress6.0 under
Win98:
Browsing her "Sent messages" folder, the list of messages appear as
expected. Their Date values show the real date when they were sent.
But if you try to "resend" or "print" any message, the text you get says
"Sent: xxxxxxx" and the date you see corresponds ALWAYS to TODAY's date,
which is obviously not true...
Back to my home, I've checked with my own Outlook Express 6.0, and my
Sent messages behave correctly as expected. But I use Win2000...
Asked another friend, running Win/XP, and his Outlook Express 6.0
behaves also correctly.

Is there any "reason" why OE6.0 running on Win98 would show real Date
values when browing the "Sent list", but alter them to TODAY's DATE if
you try to resend/print them?
Searched through Google and different Forums, but found nothing similar...
Could it be a virus? So strange...
TIA
