HTML mail in Outlook Express

DVD Player and B&W G3s Jack Keech reports that the DVD Player 3.1.1 update still does not fix the problem with the player while using multiple monitors with B&W G3s.

How to bounce "Hey Fred" messages (and other spam) Arne Berglund writes: "If the intent of the "Hey Fred" messages are to provide a list of valid addresses to harvest for future spamming, everyone who receives these messages should manually bounce them. In Mail (OS X) there is a Bounce command in the Messages menu. For Outlook Express and Entourage (both 2001 and v.X) I use a little freeware AppleScript called Bouncer. Bouncer will make it appear to the sender as if the recipient's email address is invalid."

Update: A post today on Macintouch explains why simply bouncing a message may not work. (Thanks, Joseph Holmes.)
