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
