Solution seems easy to me. Don't use the product. I think this is an
example of a product that's not easy to use for this application.

Please note: I use Netscape Communicator. I got lucky, usually after
two-three head bashes I can get it to work with lugnet. But it's a
product that's not really intended to be a newsreader.. NS beat on it
till it works as one. But NS is hungrier than MS.

MS has taken a hammer and tried to turn it into a screwdriver. Sometimes
that works. Sometimes it doesn't.

Just my opinion, and not that of CTP, please note.

  Disappearing name in MS Outlook Express
 
There are least two people (probably a LOT more) who are having horrible problems getting MS Outlook Express to send the right 'From' line from the data they've given...they're stumped as to how to make it work, and I don't have MS Outlook, so I'm (...)
