On the fake address, I've just redone it, by going into Tools, Accounts
and changing the e-mail address under the default news account. Hope
that works.

Ok, I'll send you my e-mail address (but couldn't you just copy the

code
of the .vbs file into a news message?).


Because most news readers wrap text to ~80 characters, and insert line
returns. If a line ends up being 110 characters, it will wrap, and how
will you know where it's wrapping, where to fix it, s?

.
As for using a fake address in the newsgroups, I thought I had

changed
it to a fake address some time back, but I guess it didn't take.

I'll
have to look again into how this is done using OE6.


If your fake address is that one that shows above, then it isn't fake
enough. Someone in this world might actually have larry328 at att.net

as
their real address. A proper munged address is one that is poorly
formed--that can't possibly be a real address.
