Re: OE newsgroup .dbx file name BUG

FYI

I did not delete news:\\nntp.aioe.org , it was automatically removed when I
unsubscribe "microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress".

However I see your point and will try the test again, this time assuring
news:\\nntp.aioe.org does not get removed. I think it may have been removed
because it had not been setup thru Tools | Accounts setup wizard.

It will be tomorrow May 13th before I get enough time to make the test.

|

|
| If you now delete news:\\nntp.aioe.org account (and newsgroup), delete
