A simple argument from another poster in 24hoursupport.helpdesk needs to
have his head slapped a little.
His claim is that Outlook Express emails will automatically open in IE
because IE handles html. I have tried to explain to him that OE handles
html emails within itself but he just won't accept this as fact.

In all the years that I have used OE, I have never once seen IE open and
render the email.

Would a few of you kind souls kindly slap the ignorant fool around a bit?
Thank you.

Warning! Flames from the other group are sure to be had. They will advise
you of MY reputation and ignorance. Ignore them.

I said men have a more predominant Adams Apple.

No I did not. But why can't it be? The big question there is, once
installed, will it work as intended?

No I did not. I said, that you can not go snow skiing on the African
continent. But you can in Dubai. That statement does not place Dubai on the
african continent.

You are the only one making the claim that OE opens mail in IE.

And you never will and nor will anybody else. The problem is that you
are just too stupid to understand what has been explained to you by many
people. OE uses the IE engine to render HTML mail.

Oh and while we are at it, Rich text and HTML are not the same thing.

It's a reputation you have earned and only a fool would go into another
group to spread that reputation. QED.

The truth is somewhere between the two:

1. Both IE and OE use the same browser *component* to render HTML emails.
(If you develop software then you can use the same componet in your
application to render html, its very versatile.)

2. If you click on a link and it opens in a browser, then whether that's IE
or FF or something else depends on your set-up, although it will be IE by
default.

I don't think this attitude helps you (or the person you are conversing
with). Children might slap each other around a bit, but as an adult (which I
assume you are) you should be above that. I do understand that at times we
all get aggrevated, but language like that will only loose you respect.
"slap" and "ignorant fool" are terms used by trolls, so best to avoid
anything like that or the emotive content they suggest, especially in an
open public forum.

I/we never said that, St00pid. I said OE uses the IE *engine* to display
HTML email in OE. Nobody said the mail opens in an *IE window*.

Since you won't believe various reputable references posted for you to
read on exactly how OE displays HTML email, why would you believe anyone
in these other groups you've subjected to your stupidity?

Your reputation and ignorance is legendary.

That's because you're wrong.

It doesn't have to. IE integrates right into OLE, just like it does with
Windows Explorer.

Heh!

Something you don't deny I see.

Can we at least tell them your name? It's RtS (Richard the St00pid)

Well, I guess the civility level of this thread indicates why MS killed its
NGs.

As others indicate, for HTML and plain text messages OE uses the IE engine
to display the message. If you use SPY++ you will see the display window
for the messages is an IE window. When selecting the View messages in plain
text only, then OE uses an more Notepad like window to display the text and
eliminates the IE window. That change was made in XP SP2 for "security"
purposes.

Your lack of comprehension and basic writing skills get you into so much
trouble I'd recommend giving up Usenet and concentrate on trying to hit
the inside of the spitoon instead.

I've corrected your top posting error for you.

It's evident that you haven't come across richard before, the resident
idiot of 24hoursupport.helpdesk

The self same explanation was given to him in that group but he chose to
wander into this group to demonstrate to even more people how wrong he is.

We apologise for this intrusion into your newsgroup by our resident
idiot. We have ordered a larger and shorter chain with a free straitjacket.
