Alas, the Wizard has tried and despite his usual wizardry has failed
miserably. I have requested help from anyone on this list that knows how to
"fix" MS Outlook 2000 to correct this problem, but have received no
responses. I asked MS Support to no avail, they just blame the list
configuration (surprise, surprise!). Since this is the only list of the 15
lists (mostly egroups) that I subscribe to that exhibits this behavior, I
rather suspect that there is a basic incompatibility between Outlook and the
way this list is configured. Does anyone else use Outlook 2000? I quite
realize that this is a real PITA for anyone replying to my posts and feel
very bad about it. Would alter this state of affairs in a NY minute if I
knew how.
Wait a minute! Late breaking news! I was just about to send off this email
when I received a response from MS Support. I am trying their suggestion on
this email. Hope it works.
Fingers crossed,
David
