    I spend a lot of time on news groups and Outlook Express has recently been crashing two or three times a day when I have been writing posts. I have been using Windows XP, which seems to make the problem worse. I have sent off innumerable crash reports to Microsoft using XP's built-in error reporting facility. On the last occasion, a Message Box popped up stating: Thank you for taking the time to report this problem. Please follow the link below for information which may prevent this problem in the future. All excited, I clicked on the link and was taken to here: Click[^] John Carson

                The Online Crash Analysis service has processed and analyzed this report and has determined that this crash event was likely caused by a Microsoft application <sarcasm> huh? I always thought it was my hard drive. I mean, everytime Windows Bluescreen's it's always like: "Windows crashed - please wait 10 minutes while we scan your obviously unreliable hard drive" </sarcasm> cheers, Chris Maunder

                    That's easily the most informative and helpful information I've ever seen from Microsoft! Rather than providing a flood of useless data that is totally unrelated to the actual problem, as has been their practice in the past, they are finally owning up to the fact that they haven't a clue why their apps don't work in any environment outside of their test labs! A vast improvement - kudos to the clever team that came up with the idea - over previous attempts to completely ignore users! It is ok for women not to like sports, so long as they nod in the right places and bring beers at the right times.

I do paste stuff from VS.Net into plain text messages, so you may be correct. I am unwilling to use HTML for news group posts (those that I use sometimes actively discourage the practice) but I take it that pasting from VS.Net to Notepad and then from Notepad to Outlook Express would avoid the problem (I sometimes do this anyway in order to stop Outlook Express from formatting the insertion). I am not certain that this will work, but I will give it a try. Thanks. John Carson
