Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I knew that I was far behind in WinXP patches. I had problems in the past when I tried to get updates. But I did not realize that my GMT offset was not correctly reflecting DST. The times of my posting looked correct when I viewed them. But I guess that's to be expected (GIGO).
FYI, I did succeed in updating to the latest WinXP patches now. So thanks for motivating me to try again.
Aside.... I did not take the IE7 update, though. I tend to shy away from all things "7". I know that Excel 2007 is too much a departure from Excel 2003; many people have complained and reverted. However, I don't know anything about IE7 v. IE6 in terms of backward compatibility of the user interface. I will post an inquiry in a more appropriate NG, if I don't find a constructive thread (or 10 ;->) already. Your insights would be appreciated. You can post them there or as a response here (off-topic).
Anyway, that's why you see I am still using OE6. It has been updated. But I don't know if addresses all of the security concerns that you allude to.

FYI. Your message headers:
X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2869
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2869
indicate that you are running a very old and less secure version of OE. I suggest visiting Windows Updates ASAP and at the very least, get the critical updates.
Then, please check your clock's time and time zone settings. You are posting in the future.

When I post a reply to a newsgroup, the original message is included with the following lead-in:
"Someone" <somewhere@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:eo$PT7zqJHA.528@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I manually remove the text after "wrote" and append a colon (i.e. "wrote:").
And I would like the lead-in to include the date of original message being replied to.
Is there a way to do one or both of those automatically?
