What is a forwarded message? -Sarah

I'm sure that Microsoft Outlook Express must have a menu option for forwarding messages. Alan My real address is alan @ netcom.ca (with a 'p' on 'alan' making it 'alanp', and no spaces). I'm sick of email spam.

ISP's regularly delete news items after a certain amount of time, The amount of time varies by ISP. It was posted on the 12th, so my guess is it's just not on your ISP's server any longer. Enter 'dejanews'. Take a trip over to www.dejanews.com/ where everything is collected and archived. Do a search on it, and you should find it. If not, email me, and I'll send you a copy. If memory serves (the artist's sig was missing on the post - the poster didn't know it) the artist is Joan once again. Alan My real address is alan @ netcom.ca (with a 'p' on 'alan' making it 'alanp', and no spaces). I'm sick of email spam.
