Thanks, Steve. I notice it freezes on exit on a 4.3 MB file, but it's my
only big file, and again it may be my machine and may do fine on someone
elses.

Mike,
I've just tried it on a 30MB file, and it didn't freeze, so I'll
have to look into that and see if I can find out why it's happening on your
PC.

Note: Apologies for putting it as a new post, my mail client kept giving me
an error when I tried posting it to the original thread (something about
line 4 being too long..... :o\ ).

Known problem with OE. Seems to happen only when replying in a long
thread that has a lot of included quotes. And no, snipping out the
quotes doesn't help.

hehe, so I gather (unfortunately, I tried several alternative app's and none
of them were any good IMHO)

Cheers for the info though ;o)

Hey, don't get me wrong. I'm not an OE/IE basher. In fact, I'm a
committed user of both.

I prefer to use Avant Browser instead of IE itself (I know I know, it's only
a shell), but like OE for the mail/news client (well, when it works I do
anyway ;o) ).

Steven -
Might want to try Mozilla Thunderbird. I switched from OE a while ago.
Faster, less glitch prone.

ewww no..... I'd rather just upgrade to IE 6 (and I can't stand that one
either). I tried Mozilla a while ago and found it way too bloated and
cumbersome. (I'll open my flame box for everyone now ;o) ).

Discussing browsers, email clients, HOSTS file and operating systems is like
discussing religion and politics and each person has their own and it is the
best!

Probably the References: line. The one that has a history of all the
message-ids in a thread (mail or news). I once read some discussion of
OE having some short limit on what it would store there. If it's not
an OE thing, then maybe it's related. Maybe there's such a thing as
servers who cannot handle a References: line beyond a certain number
of entries. Essentially, it's some machine telling you that the
conversation between you and Mike has gone on longer that what it
can track...

I just wrote a similar reply prior to seeing this. As to one workaround...
You hit reply, hit send later. Then open up the queued message in raw form,
and trim down the references line (the earliest entries). I cannot claim
any experience with using OE and altering the headers of outgoing messages;
only confirmation that it can be done with some other clients. And in the
end, I cannot envision too many circumstances where it would be worth the
hassle. Just that's the technique I'd look into, were some special
circumstance to arise.

Thanks, Steve.
A little more information:
When I opened the 4 MB file, I edited it, then exited and it froze, used
Task Manager to close. I then checked the file with another editor, and
the change had been saved.

Ver. 1.05 works fine with my versions of those 3 files we talked about.
Is there any reason to replace my versions with the versions in your
dependencies zip file?

Mike, if everything is okay, there is no reason I can think of to upgrade
the OCX/DLL file's.
