Totally OT but I know some people here are experts on this sort of thing.

All posts on this group (not currently subscribed to any others) from 26th
Feb onwards show no name in the "From" column.
If I enable "Show all posts" earlier ones (25th or earlier) are fine.

Anybody else seen this (i.e. it's Freeserve) ?
Any other ideas before I start re-installing Outlook Express ? (other than
use another newsreader :-)

Well, you have two problems there. Outlook Express and Freeserve.
I would eliminate both of them if I were you !

Nonsense. I'm on OE and have no such problem.

In fact I have no problems with OE and am always amused by its smarty pants
detractors.

detractors.

Sadly, most of the detractors have perfectly valid points.

If you want me to remind you how to switch Windows Scripting Host back on
so it can run malicious code without you knowing...

No thank you.

That is a bit unfair, given that we did explain in some detail *why* OE
has more than it fair share of detractors, before you went off on your
hols IIRC.

I speak as I find. I repeat, I have no problems with OE.

And we don't have hols.

Sorry, I thought we had been through this before Christmas...

Many folks have no problem with OE, however they unwittingly *cause*
them for thousands of others as a result of malicious software they end
up running as a result of using OE.

I am not suggesting that this is the case with your computer, so don't
think I am having a go at you personally, just highlighting that because
you have "no problem with OE", it is not safe to extrapolate that to a
broader class of users.

And we don't have hols.

Your trip to Wales over Christmas then...

I actually think that Mary's response was 'smarty pants' in its own
right, I'm afraid.

Dunno about that problem but you could always start by setting your calendar
and clock properly.

Don't know, but why does your clock think it's 3 o'clock tomorrow morning
when it's actually only 10 o'clock tonight?
