What happened to my post?

On 5/12/06 I posted a question about Outlook 2003 on Outlook General
Questions. The Post appeared a few minutes later, but had disappeared by the
next day. What happened?

My question was why does Outlook allow me to open some links from emails
from certain sources, but on one, it tells me that it's preventing it for my
protection and that if I want to open it, I have to enable opening links from
all sources. The blocked source source is as reputable an organization as
many unblocked ones.

Perhaps you would be better off using a real news reader rather than the
horrible web interface.....

Gordon,

Ok, so you vented your dislike of the "horrible web interface." But what's
the solution if I want to stick with Outlook?

Gordon,

Ok, so you vented your dislike of the "horrible web interface."

My dislike of it is based on the fact that a) it's not a forum which a lot
of people seem to think it is, but a web interface to a Usenet newsgroup
and b) that it lacks most of the functions of a proper news reader that
make things like finding replies to your own posts so easy!

But
what's the solution if I want to stick with Outlook?

Use the Outlook newsreader which is actually Outlook Express in News Only
mode, or, investigate some of the commercially-available newsreader add-ins
for Outlook, most of which don't /tend/ to be as functional as OE,
especialy combined with OEQuotefix.
