Don't really know what age has to do with anything. I am nearly 61 years
old, and am adapting just fine. I've got a 42-year-old cousin who had fits
when his wife picked up a new computer with Windows Vista; just enough
different from Windows XP to frustrate him no end.

Can't you open the address book without OE even being involved? WAB.EXE
is the executable and the data is in the *wab file.

Probably not what you wanted though because anything over the limit will
be included in the next article (post).

Purchased a new laptop directly from HP. Spent two days trying to fond
OLE only to find out that Windows 7 doesn't come with an email program
and won't accept OLE from other sources. Downloaded Windows Live but
haven't figured out what to do with it. I am really pissed. I am 67
years old and my wife is 72. Don't have enough time to be jerked around

Sure. Configure your NNTP server to limit the size of a submission (and to
reject it at the time of the submission and not afterward so the sender gets
*immediate* notification in their NNTP client of the rejection).
Based on your past posts, you are NOT the co-moderator of a newsgroup. You
might be a moderator of a *forum*. So you have a leech site that pretends

Correct
Thank you. I checked OE but then again thought I may have missed something
in the settings. ;-))
Precisely what we all thought - iinteresting that they want to enforce this
and not extremist content in some groups :0(
Absolutely - in fact, as a co-mod I'll give another nudge in that direction.

The only option in OE would be the break apart option which would break
a larger message into multiple posts. And I'm guessing that's not what
you want to encourage since its purpose is to get around size limits.
I'm not aware of any new reader that would limit the size of posts.
That's left up to the news server to reject posts.

That was introduced by the annexcafe newsgroups. Very simple answer. Limit yourself
to posting under 500kb. If you really need to then post separate posts

It might also be worth adding that Microsoft has come in for so much stick
when it bundled applications with Windows that I am not surprised it dropped
the mail app as bundled item. The OP seems to have forgotten that
competition authorities in the US and EU have fined MS millions.
See what happened with the browser.

Happy New Year all - Is there any way to limit size of posts in NGs to 500
Kb?? One of the NGs I co-moderate sent this out (we're trying to help users
know how to limit size if they use OE):
"Effective immediately the new size limit for any post is 500 Kb. All
newsreaders add almost 40% to the original file size when posted (either
