Multiple same name image embedding: An update to Outlook Express disabled this feature.  Please note: XPSP2 has fixed this problem in it's released.  

Tips--

The SP1 to OE6 gives new options: A newsgroup message that downloads to your hard drive can be deleted. Good thing for Spam and post-dated messages. Highlight the message, then Edit>Delete. Or Right click the toolbar and select customize, then add the big Red X to your toolbar. Also you can select to have all messages received to be viewed in plain text. Tools>Options>Read, and tick view all messages in plain text.

We download a lot of messages to our hard drives, so a good clean-up helps to keep OE running smooth......

It's best to do this with OE in the "Work Offline" Mode . File>Work Offline.

Highlight this newsgroup in the left pane, then right click and select Properties>Local
Files>Remove Messages. This will leave all message headers, but available
message bodies will have to be downloaded again. A great way to lighten the
load on OE. Do this for other groups you may belong, or view. Don't forget, once finished, go back and uncheck "Work Offline". :-) Another way is to reset the newsgroup: It cleans up OE from all those old message bodies and headers.

In the left pane, right click the newsgroup>Properties>Local File>RESET. Ok to the question,...Now wait for all the messages headers to disappear. This may take a while (seems like it stops responding), but that's because there are so many,...wait. When they are gone, select Compact, and wait. then ok out. Leave the group then return. Messages will download again. Mark all as read, then right click the group again and select Catch Up,...Wait until it's done. That's it. Some like to use Delete, but I hate all those re:'s to post headers that I can't see<g>.

As scripts become more widely used, they are also more processor intensive, and sometime won't release. To Make them let go, put the Preview button on the Toolbar. Right click the Toolbar and select Customize. In the left pane, highlight Preview button and select Add, then close. Now, if a post won't let go, highlight another post, click the Preview button, then click it again, and you're out
