For those of you who are using Windows XP, have
installed SP2, and who use Outlook Express, here is
some important information for you.
With the release of the new Microsoft XP Service Pak 2
(SP2) you can face some problems with the HTML issues
because Outlook Express under Windows XP SP2 will now
block images automatically in your messages if your
email address is not in the subscriber address book.
The formatting may become odd. Also.
According to Microsoft's Knowledge Base, they have an
article on this topic and a solution to turn off the
new default: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=843018
Here are instructions for turning off this default
feature:
1. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click
Outlook Express.
2. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click
the Security tab.
3. Click to clear the Block images and other external
content in HTML
e-mail check box. 4. Click Apply, and then click OK.
Read the full story in the Ezine-Tips issue.

Personal request: If you joined Starfish, Sand Dollar
and/or Driftwood by subscribing through the
Zinester.com web site, I would REALLY appreciate it if
you would drop me a note with your name,
country and state of your residence (city is helpful,
but optional). It would also be helpful to know how
you heard about us. I am often asked how many
subscribers we have from the state of xyz or how many
subscribers in xyz country. Sometimes, I want to drop
a note to folks in Australia for example. If I have
the requested information, it makes these questions
easier to answer.
Others will want to know how many countries around the
world are receiving Starfish (or Sand Dollar or
Driftwood). So I try to track the locations that our
messages reach.
I would really appreciate it if you would drop me a
note with this info. You have my solemn promise that
the information is shared with no one and remains
strictly confidential and for my own personal use
only.
Thanks so much
Bob Johnston
