OE5 - Can't delete messages "Guv Bob" <brotherdave[ at ]bigfootYEEEEEEEOW.com> 13.07.2007 02:58:31 Never had this problem before, but since re-installing Win2000, now I can't delete postings in any newsgroups. The delete key has no effect at all -- but works with email and all other programs. Anyone take a stab at how to fix this? Thanks. Bob

Re: OE5 - Can't delete messages "Peter Foldes" <okf22[ at ]hotmail.com> 13.07.2007 04:02:05 Upgrade to SP4 . You will like IE6 and OE6 much better. Hope that answers your above post also.

Re: OE5 - Can't delete messages "Guv Bob" <brotherdave[ at ]bigfootYEEEEEEEOW.com> 13.07.2007 16:51:37 Thanks, I will eventually. But any idea why I can't delete postings? This was never a problem in the past so I'm guessing there must be a setting somewhere that got changed.

Re: OE5 - Can't delete messages "Guv Bob" <brotherdave[ at ]bigfootYEEEEEEEOW.com> 13.07.2007 18:30:19 Thanks again Bruce. I decided to go ahead and 'up' grade to 2000 SP4 with OE6, etc. and it solved the problem.

Re: OE5 - Can't delete messages "Michael Santovec" <michael_santovec[ at ]prodigy.net> 14.07.2007 00:54:41 Your problem was that OE5 doesn't support directly deleting news posts. There is a roundabout method for OE5, but hardly worth the bother. OE6 does support the direct deleting of news posts. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Guv Bob" <brotherdave[ at ]bigfootYEEEEEEEOW.com> wrote in message news:%wPli.21$SM6.8[ at ]trnddc01...
