Re: OE6 - No Response



It depends on what the bug was. They probably just blocked anybody who uses OE from posting.

Such a blanket approach is what Sub-Neanderthal cretins who work at ISPs call a "fix".

I was advised that the problem may have been due to an effect of an ancient
OE bug.
Would you know anything about this OE problem and if so is there anything I
can do to rectify this problem?
My windows security patches are up-to-date (automatically downloaded) but I
am unsure about security updates concerning OE6.
