BTW: what makes OE more of a security hazard than other readers?

Point taken, however and IMO, this has more to do with OE being the most
widely used reader than any of it's features. If you wanted to spread a
virus, would you write it to exploit a loophole in WinVN ??
Yipe!! -Does it line wrap correctly when printing messages nowadays?

Very true... I keep forgetting a large percentage of computer owners
shouldn't be computer owners in the first place. A sort of inborn "assumed
intelligent until proven stupid" mentality on my part.

Printing? Don't know... when I *do* print doc's, I take them to work &
print them. <g> Displays them on-screen fine.

Ah, I see how you never got turned off by this "feature".
Back in the early days, I tried Netscrape and, while it displayed news
messages fine, it did not word wrap them when printing. I.e. apart from the
header one would only get the first line of the body on paper, the rest
begin lopped off as it was outside the printable margin.
I subsequently tried to uninstall it, but that didn't go smoothly either.
Ended up having to do rebuild of my system to get rid of it and go back to
IE and OE (partly my fault, didn't know better than to do a standard install
back then).
