OE-Quote Fix

[Pete]

Hi everyone,

Below is a paste of an e-mail I sent to the quote fix person associated with
the download site for OE-Quote Fix. I got no response (must have went out
of business - but the message sent - sent it twice).

[[ "I have the latest OE that comes with XPsp2 (version 6.00.2900.2180).
All of your software appears to be dated 2003 plus the ISO patch you have
(no date) says it won't work with versions above 6.00.2800.1123. Am I
correct in assuming I can not use your OE-QuoteFix."]]

Would someone tell me if the latest version of quote fix will work with my
xpsp2 home edition. I don't want to download it and install it for fear it
will mess up my IE/OE.

Here is the site - http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/.

Please check it, and let me know if it is safe to install.

Thanks...Pete

I know that some things do not work in XP SP2.

I have uninstalled SP2, but I found this in my notes.
-------

OEQuoteFix

Outlook Express with OE-QuoteFix would not open OE-QuoteFix.
Uninstalled and reinstalled OE-QuoteFix.
Fixed the problem.
---

Emoticons does not work.

Turned off Read in plain text. Produced the symbol with the red X.

Unchecked Block images. Produced the emoticons.
-------
That's all I found in my notes. I have XP SP1 and still use OEQuoteFix.

I'm running XPHomeSP2 with OE-Quotefix without any problems, I do know I
had problems installing it at first but I can't remember how I fixed it
<g>
I think it was in Google groups that someone else posted about problems
and it may have been in there I found the answer to the problem but as I
say I can't remember, trying doing a search in there for it.
Hope that helps

I run OE-QuoteFix on both XP Home and Professional, both with SP2 installed
without a problem. You may find that some features of OE-QuoteFix don't work
perfectly, but there's no reason to have any fear that it will *mess up*
anything. Worst case, if you don't like its behavior, just stop using it.

Thanks everyone...the site for quote fix says you may need to uncheck the
"block images.... in html" in options/security, and another person told me
this was true. I'm not sure what effect that will have (I don't get e-mails
and I send in plain text for both mail and news, but I leave the "read all
messages in plain text unchecked. I guess I will try it...Pete

Wes...why did you uninstall sp2 (I'm sure it wasn't just for quote

Stop using OE for Usenet and get a regular Usenet reader. There are
many, and they don't have the problems that OE does.

If you don't uncheck that you won't see the emoticons. No big loss.

Hi again. everyone...I installed OE-Quote fix and I like it. I have a
couple more questions if you may be so kind.

- In start/programs it lists two different items - one is "OE QuoteFix -
stand alone" (which has dark blue arrows around the envelope) and the other
is "Outlook Express with OE-QuoteFix" (which has light blue arrows aroung
the envelope). Please tell me what the difference is between the two. I
have clicked them both on and it doesn't seem to matter - either way I get
the envelope with the dark blue arrows in my icon tray in the lower right
hand corner. Everything seems to be working all right but I may not know.
Please explain.

- Is there way to get it to show you a list of the emoticons (like
thunderbird does in html compose mode). I tried both html and plain text
and I don't think it will do that. In other words do you still have to type
in the emoticons manually, but they will display as the yellow smileys.

Thanks...Pete

 

[Joan Archer]

Can't answer your first question but the second one, yes you type in the
necessary strokes like <g> and it will show that as a smiley when it gets
to the other end <g>

[Wesley Vogel]

Pete,

- In start/programs there should be another item, called Documentation.

Documentation is a shortcut to C:\Program Files\OE-QuoteFix\docs\index.html.
This is OE-QuoteFix's HELP.

This from Documentation...

Starting OE-QuoteFix
[[Start OE-QuoteFix via the start menu or the icon that was created on your
desktop:

Outlook Express with OE-QuoteFix will launch Outlook Express together with
OE-QuoteFix. Note that by default, OE-QuoteFix is configured to terminate as
soon as OE is closed. If you usually run Outlook Express with a parameter,
e.g. /outnews, you can modify the shortcut and specify those parameters for
OELaunch.exe; they will then be passed on to Outlook Express.

Using the default settings, OE-QuoteFix stand-alone will only start
OE-QuoteFix if Outlook Express is already running. But if you disable the
option Depend on OE, you can use this shortcut to start OE-QuoteFix without
Outlook Express. If you would like to keep OE-QuoteFix running all the time,
disable Depend on OE and copy the stand-alone shortcut to your StartUp
folder.]]

Wes...I already read that after I sent the message (it's also available by
right clicking the OE quote fix icon in the icon tray and clicking "help").
But I don't understand what the hell it is saying (do you). It is about as
clear as mud. Let me ask again, why do I have the envelope which has the
dark arrows on it (in my icon tray) which implies the stand alone, but yet I
am in the "Outlook Express with OE quote fix" mode in reality (ie it
launches with the fix and terminates after and every thing seems to be
working - it does some weird stuff with the colors on previous messages -
the >>>>>'s color above the text seems to be "one away from" the color in
the text -NBD, I'll figure it out later). At least it strips the sigs and
the smileys are neat .

Please try to explain the stand alone feature more if you can. Like I said
I have reclicked the "Outlook Express with OE-QuoteFix" entry (in
start/programs) several times, so why don't I get the envelope in the icon
tray with the light blue arrows (mine stays dark blue - which indicates the
stand alone mode, but I am not in the stand alone mode). I don't think its
worth uninstalling and reinstalling, because I feel it will do the same
thing. It's also important to note I do have the "Outlook Express with
OE-QuoteFix" icon on my desk top which I use to activate OE with the fix,
which is further evidence I am in the right mode.

Maybe the damn icon in the icon tray stays purple no matter what mode you're
in, and it aint working right - lol. What do you think...Pete

Would someone tell me if the latest version of quote fix will work
with my xpsp2 home edition. I don't want to download it and
install it for fear it will mess up my IE/OE.

Here is the site -

Please check it, and let me know if it is safe to install.

Hi again. everyone...I installed OE-Quote fix and I like it. I
have a couple more questions if you may be so kind.

- In start/programs it lists two different items - one is "OE
QuoteFix - stand alone" (which has dark blue arrows around the
envelope) and the other is "Outlook Express with OE-QuoteFix"
(which has light blue arrows aroung the envelope). Please tell me
what the difference is between the two. I have clicked them both
on and it doesn't seem to matter - either way I get the envelope
with the dark blue arrows in my icon tray in the lower right hand
corner. Everything seems to be working all right but I may not
know. Please explain.

- Is there way to get it to show you a list of the emoticons (like
thunderbird does in html compose mode). I tried both html and
plain text and I don't think it will do that. In other words do
you still have to type in the emoticons manually, but they will
display as the yellow smileys.

Thanks...Pete

OE-QuoteFix - stand-alone opens OEQuoteFix.exe. When first clicked you'll
see this message...
---------------------------
OE-QuoteFix
---------------------------
Outlook Express 5/6 is not running.
Do you want to disable dependency
to start OE-QuoteFix anyway?
---------------------------
Yes No
---------------------------

If you click Yes, OE-QuoteFix opens w/o OE. Then the next time you click on
OE-QuoteFix - stand-alone, it opens OE-QuoteFix without any popups and w/o
OE. Hence, stand-alone. I don't really know what good running OE-QuoteFix
w/o OE is. Although there are some things you can do, like adjust settings.

When you answer yes to the pop-up, OE-QuoteFix does not close when you close
OE. You have to go into Advanced Options in OE-QuoteFix and select Depend
on OE to get it to close when OE closes.

Outlook Express with OE-QuoteFix opens OELaunch.exe which opens
OEQuoteFix.exe & Outlook Express (msimn.exe).

These are just options to confuse the user.

If OE-QuoteFix & OE open and close at the same time, leave it that way.

Is that any less clear? LOL

Pete,

- In start/programs there should be another item, called
Documentation.

Documentation is a shortcut to C:\Program
Files\OE-QuoteFix\docs\index.html. This is OE-QuoteFix's HELP.

This from Documentation...

Starting OE-QuoteFix
[[Start OE-QuoteFix via the start menu or the icon that was created
on your desktop:

Outlook Express with OE-QuoteFix will launch Outlook Express together
with OE-QuoteFix. Note that by default, OE-QuoteFix is configured to
terminate as soon as OE is closed. If you usually run Outlook Express
with a parameter, e.g. /outnews, you can modify the shortcut and
specify those parameters for OELaunch.exe; they will then be passed
on to Outlook Express.

Using the default settings, OE-QuoteFix stand-alone will only start
OE-QuoteFix if Outlook Express is already running. But if you disable
the option Depend on OE, you can use this shortcut to start
OE-QuoteFix without Outlook Express. If you would like to keep
OE-QuoteFix running all the time, disable Depend on OE and copy the
stand-alone shortcut to your StartUp folder.]]

Wes...I already read that after I sent the message (it's also available by
right clicking the OE quote fix icon in the icon tray and clicking
"help"). But I don't understand what the hell it is saying (do you). It
is about as clear as mud. Let me ask again, why do I have the envelope
which has the dark arrows on it (in my icon tray) which implies the stand
alone, but yet I am in the "Outlook Express with OE quote fix" mode in
reality (ie it launches with the fix and terminates after and every thing
seems to be working - it does some weird stuff with the colors on
previous messages - the >>>>>'s color above the text seems to be "one
away from" the color in the text -NBD, I'll figure it out later). At
least it strips the sigs and the smileys are neat .

Please try to explain the stand alone feature more if you can. Like I
said I have reclicked the "Outlook Express with OE-QuoteFix" entry (in
start/programs) several times, so why don't I get the envelope in the icon
tray with the light blue arrows (mine stays dark blue - which indicates
the stand alone mode, but I am not in the stand alone mode). I don't
think its worth uninstalling and reinstalling, because I feel it will do
the same thing. It's also important to note I do have the "Outlook
Express with OE-QuoteFix" icon on my desk top which I use to activate OE
with the fix, which is further evidence I am in the right mode.

Maybe the damn icon in the icon tray stays purple no matter what mode
you're in, and it aint working right - lol. What do you think...Pete
