Watching the clock tick by has inspired me to create this lovely timepiece..

And now, a repeat showing, without the wierd spacing.

If you thought Outlook Express 4 was horrible to make
ascii-art with, you should try Outlook Express 5!
Its a Nightmare!!

It's a bloody nightmare to do *anything* with OE5..... BngL (a m8) has it
installed and it takes years to load and once it has loaded it tries to
connect to 5 ISPs at once. Mad.

Well today I have downloaded the full version (at work, not here) but I
haven't tried any ASCII with it yet..  I'll update you tomorrow :O)

The full release seems to take less time to load, and I have not had any
trouble like you mention there.

I am also guilty of making stuff in my Mail-News program. Sometimes it's gone
forever. Oh well.... I am not new at this, but am frequently lazy and don't give
a hoot. Perhaps Andrew is the same. Oh well....

ITS WORSE THAN I THOUGHT!!

watch this!

I type // and nothing happens... but if
I type file://_ (// with something after it) it adds "file:" to the front!

This is a nightmare!!  ARGH!  Not only can I not make any ASCII art, but now
I can't VIEW it without it getting mucked up!!  EEEKKK!!

*sob*

Andrew.

Thanks Andrew....suddenly I have no interst in IE5.

That is disgraceful! I think it might be time to get yourself a
newsreader. There's
 

WinVN
www.ksc.nasa.gov/software/winvn/winvn.html

FreeAgent
www.forteinc.com/agent/freagent.htm

Agent
www.forteinc.com/agent/index.htm 

 
There are more shareware sites at
http://tucows.idirect.com/news95.html

(There is no "file:" in the above address.)



NOTE: I do not pick up my mail from the idirect address. If you
are e-mailing and hit the reply button, add an "e" to "freent";
its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
