Not Microsoft Press, but Hill's book is very good:

LOL. You still having trouble with those links? <g>

That's because he haven't installed this one:

MS03-014: April, 2003, Cumulative Patch for Outlook Express

No. It's because I do my editing in TSE Pro (www.semware.com). The built-in
OE editor is, shall we say, not so good.

Nope, that's not the reason. I use TSE Pro (www.semware.com) for my
editing.

Nope, that's not the reason. I use TSE Pro (www.semware.com) for my
editing.

But you are posting through OE it looks like, from your post's header:

X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1106


The version above breaks long URL's (while OE with KB330994 installed does not)
....

But you are posting through OE it looks like, from your post's header:

Yes, but I don't use its weak built-in text editor. I use my own.

Hi

Just curious, do you positively know that it will not help to install

You can pay more but you cannot buy better. <grin>

HOw do you interface TSE Pro with OE?

 

[William Hymen]

Quite a lively discussion. In the end, it seems
my answer is a simple "no".
Nobody has ever written documentation quite
up to the standards of my VMS operating system
manuals. (sigh) ..

 

[Bill Stewart]

Yes, because when I edit in TSE Pro, the line wraps are created before I
paste back into OE.

Not really very pretty. Copy and paste. But it's better than retraining my
fingers to use the awful built-in OE editor.

But since you asked, maybe I could mention this (OT of course): If there's
a good free newsreader out there that would let me use my own editor, and
that could port over my archived OE data, I'm perfectly willing to switch.
