Thank you. The computer man is sorting that out. I've just got a new
computer and a lot of stuff seems to be lost and not recognised.

No, I'm keeping XP. It's complicated enough without having to learn a whole
new system.
How do I find out which windows I have got? I've got Outlook Express 6.

eternal-september groups are now fixed, but there are a lot of surprising
groups listed which I didn't put there.
Have to unsubscribe a lot.
