When composing a casual email to a friend, I sometimes change the font color in mid-sentence. Although I *can* do this by clicking on the drop-down color menu on the bar just above the compose window, there are a limited number of color options there. Instead, I usually go to Format > Font and then pick a color from the color window where I can virtually create whatever color I wish.
However, ever since I downloaded Windows Live Mail Desktop, everytime I try to do this maneuver--in either WLMD or OE 6--I get an error message: Error 501 permission denied.
I thought this might be the result of some glitch in the WLMD beta program, so I uninstalled it (and even cleared it out of the registry the best I can). But OE is still giving me this 'permission denied' message.
Is there something I can do to get this option back ?
1. In OE go to Tools | Options | Read Tab. Uncheck Read all messages in plain text.
In IE: Tools | Internet Options | Advanced Tab. Uncheck: HTTP 1.1 | OK.
Reboot and try. If the problem persists, go back to Internet Options | Advanced Tab and uncheck: Show friendly HTTP error messages. Reboot and try again. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~

The OE box was already unchecked. I unchecked the IE boxes (in two stages as you suggested), but I still receive the error 501 dialog box when trying to change font style in an email.

You may have a damaged identity especially if it is the default Main Identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it. If all is well, you can import your messages and Address Book from the old identity and delete it.

Well, unfortunately, all is not well. The new identity has the same error.
I'm beginning to feel that the WLMD software did something that isn't going to be very easy to fix. :-( If you have any other ideas, I would be glad to try them. If not, I can live with the minor inconvenience.

I haven't even played with WLMd, so I would hope someone else can jump in here and help.
I did see something related that said to start with a entirely new Windows Welcome Page logon and redo everything from that point on, but I would not like to recommend that without some additional advice. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried it, but it didn't work at first. After having re-opened OE several times, I began editing an email and tried again to change the font **style**--and it worked ! (I hadn't been able to do that for a while.)
However, I still am unable to access the Windows "Color" box (as I can, e.g. in Control Panel > Display > Appearance > Advanced > Color). I get Error 501 whether I try to go into Format > Font or whether I highlight a section of text (with the mouse) and right click and select "font."

Tools | Internet Options | Colors In the top left quadrant make sure "Use Windows colors" is checked.

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it didn't solve my problem. I'm slowly realizing that my download of WLMD beta must've done something to my copy of OE which is not easily reparable. But I have appreciated all the efforts. I can live with the minor inconvenience caused by it all.

Thanks, Michael, for the reminder. I had forgotten to try that suggestion.
It worked !
But now I have a question, Steve (or anyone). Since the change suggested in Steve's post alters a security setting from something "disabled" by default to something now "enabled," what risks would I be opening myself up to my leaving it "enabled" ?
>> Error 501 Permission denied selecting font >> - In Internet Explorer: Tools, Internet Options, Security for >> Internet and Trusted Zones select Custom Level set "Navigate >> sub-frames across different domains" to Enable.
It's probably not a major security risk. It has to do with a malicious web site spoofing content by allowing it to mix content from legitimate web sites with their own.
Microsoft's default for that setting is Enable for low to medium security and disabled for high security.
I haven't a clue for why that setting affects your problem, but some others have reported the same issue.
In my case, I have OE set to the restricted zone with everything disabled. And for the Internet Zone I have that setting set to Prompt. I don't get your 501 error. If you like, you could try Prompt instead of disable and see if that also works for you. If it does, then you would be safe. With prompt, if you encounter a web site using that feature, you would get a prompt to allow or disallow.
