Outlook Express email

[Guest MelvinC]

My system is WindowsXP Pro with Outlook Express 7. I am trying to send

suspicious looking email, as an attachment, to an antiphishing workgroup at

address reportphishing@antiphishing.org . Outlook Express blocks it as spam.

How do I work around this problem? Thank you for your help.

Sincerely Melvin

OE doesn't "block" any outgoing message, be it Spam or not.

You ask in a group with OE in the title. You notice THIS group LACKS

that.

 

Ask elsewhere

Two things come to mind.

 

First, AFAICT, there is no release version of Outlook Express 7. OE stops

at v.6; v.7 became Windows Mail for Vista during the Vista beta, some time

ago. If you are actually using OE7, it wouldn't be a surprise that it

might misbehave, being old and unfinished code.

 

Second, OE and Windows Mail do not block mail as spam. An antivirus or

firewall located on your system, the receiving system, or one of the mail

servers involved might, but it won't be OE doing it. OE6 does have a

setting that can prevent *opening* received attachments, but they are there

and the setting can be disabled.

 

You'll need to pay closer attention to the details of what is happening.

According to the headers the computer Melvin used to post has OE6 not

OE7 installed.

I am sure Patrick and I knew that so what was the point of your post?

The fact that neither you nor Patrick are the only people who read this

newsgroup?

 

Please bottom post or remove your sig with its delimiter so that normal

news readers won't nuke everything but your message.

Your system does not have OE 7 installed. I assume that it has OE6 SP2.

 

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML

files from the scan. It provides no

protection not provided by the regular resident protection.

Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and

Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of Trend's

anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.

Re: Outlook Express email

 

Does anyone know how to configure the spell check in OE. My OE spell check

has switched to another language (not english) and I have no idea how to get

it back to it's original setting.

Re: Outlook Express email

 

Please start your own thread in the future instead of latching on to another

that has nothing to do with your problem. Thank you.

 

Is your spell check in French? Did you install Office 2007?

 

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook

Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974

 

Office 2007 breaks OE's spell check. Downloading a free spell check is the

simplest way around this.

 

Vampirefo:

http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952

 

TinySpell:

http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/ (Checks the spelling as you type).

 

Australian English Spell Check

(Also suitable for other English speaking countries.)

http://www.justlocal.com.au/clients/oespellcheck/

 

If you have a previous version of Office, see this:

Perhaps by asking in a group with OE in the title? Perhaps by

noticing THIS group LACKS that in ITS title?

 

Ask elsewhere
