Re: Which newsgroup for info about email scripts?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Fine, but I would still like to know more about the useful purposes of
scripts in otherwise legitimate emails, like the merchant's confirmation she
received. Is it OK that I'm interested in knowledge for the sake of
knowledge?

What are you talking about? Your friend is getting the script errors
because she has OE running in the Internet zone. Change it back to the
default Restricted Sites zone and she won't get any script errors.

Or continue as is and get the errors...and possibly subject the machine to
attack.

I
don't use the preview pane, and I never open email if I don't recognize
the
sender of a message based on the subject line or other clues.

was
looking for. At this point, my curiosity is about why a simple email
would
even need scripts, something I never see from other companies'
confirmations. (Maybe the scripts are there, but they work right so I
don't
notice them).

Is there a group where I might find a few programmers who can explain
the
purpose of these things?
