M$ Outlook Express (msoe) gir muligheter for å "skru av" både denne
egenskapen og den som gjør at vedlegg åpnes AUTOMATISK. Det er
nå "bevist" at disse mulighetene burde vært av ved levering...
-------------
Hvordan gjøre dette?
1) For at ikke alle e-postadresser man sender til skal havne i adresseboken:
Gå inn på menyvalg 'verktøy' fra hovedvinduet, velg her 'Alternativer' og sørg
så for at denne egenskapen IKKE er valgt/krysset av.
2) For at vedlegg ikke skal kunne åpnes AUTOMATISK:
Følg de gode instruksjoner og oppfordringer i meldingen under, sendt via
en annen e-liste. Merk: I norsk versjon er 'Vis' og 'oppsett' litt ulikt plassert,
men i samme meny osv. Det gjelder altså å slå av 'Forhåndsvisningsruta",
på US engelsk 'Preview Pane'.
