Hope you're still out there, Hellunzelluf ????
Sorry !!! ...but the eml file I created and saved in "my documents" isn't
showing up on the list of 10 last used stationary's in OE !!????
When I open the "stationary"eml file I created from within My Doc's it opens
up OE New message window using "my"stationary but ..... once I have
addressed, edited and sent the message OE automatically closes !! .... (
unless I already have it open in another window) ..... when I reopen OE "my"
stationary IS NOT in the list ????
The only stationary that is on the list are the ones that I have previously
used from the Stationary folder and they are all "html" format not "eml"
format ..... I have tried copying my eml file to the stationary folder but
when I go there via "New message using...." I cannot see my eml file, only
files in html format .... but .... if I search via my Computer into the
Stationary folder my eml file is there !!!???
I've also tried changing the "save as" format to html with my name on it and
it certainly visible in the stationary file then but only the stationary ....
not the text that I put on it !!!
Sorry !!!! .... but I am at a loss now as to how to be able to access "My"
stationary thru OE ???
Regards ........... KEB..NZ
