    Is anyone brave enough to admit ever falling for an email scam...most of them are just too funny, but someone must fall for them or they wouldn't exist!!

    I know someone who claims to have a friend who fell for the Nigerian bank scam.[:D]

    Kate, I asked the same question a while back and got this answer.  As you can see, it's still incomplete:

    "Highlight it and select "properties" at the right of the window.  In the dialog box that comes up, change the name to "UK".  Select the "connection" tab and uncheck the box that says "always connect using".  Then click on O.K to close the box.

    Highlight the new account and select "properties"as above.  change the name to "France".  Find the line just below this where it gives the email address.  This should give your main (U.K?) email address, not the new French one.  If it doesn't then change it.  Click on "O.K" to close the box.

    Highlight the entry for the country that you are in and click on the "set as default" button at the right of the window.  You should always change the default setting to suit the country that you are in.

    From now on whenever you create an outgoing message you will find that the top line where it says "From" has a drop down box attached to it at the far right of the line.  You MUST ensure that all outgoing messages are selected to show the country that"

    In fact, I found that I didn't need to make those changes in Outlook Express in order to download email from my non-French accounts, just had to add my Wanadoo/Orange email account.

    If I'm emailing for business (especially someone I don't know), I start with "Dear ..." and end with "Yours truly" just as I would a regular letter.

    For emails to people I know fairly well, I usually start with "Hi, ..." and end with my name (or first-name initial, if I know them really well) . after a "hope to see you soon" type of sentence.

    With really close friends and family, emails often evolve/devolve into continuing conversations, with no greetings or signoffs.

    Stop whinging little sausage you will enjoy a nice tumbledryer.  I hope that you won't have the same trouble as me, as our electricity, for reasons historic it seems, is on tri-phase and I am currently unable to run tumble dryer and washing machine at the same time without plunging entire village into darkness.  EDF don't care nd i am really fed up

    Sorry Miki if I offended you - I'm sureyour footballing skills are still firstclass..  In fact if you tell me how to remove henna hairdye and temporary tattoos from bedlinen I will be your number one fan.  This year seems to have been a dire one for pillowcases with everyone using them as makeup removers etc.

    Don't know anything about henna (maybe peroxide?[:D]), but hairspray (of all things) acts as a solvent for a lot of "indelible" inks (the non-water-soluble ones).

    Java Updates

    [quote user="Benjamin"]I've just had a pop up window offering me a Java 5.0 Update 9 Available.

    The title of the window is Ready to Download - Java (TM) Update.

    It says in the window Java 5.0 Update 9 Available includes features and fixes to accelerate your Java applications as well as updates to keep Java secure.

    Being non techy this wording doesn't seem quite right and I've no idea if I've got any Java applications or not.

    Any advice please?

    Start/Control Panel/Classic view or Start/Add or Remove Programs should show you if you have Java installed.

    You can also go to the Java website http://www.java.com/en/ and check the downloads page http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp to get the latest version of Java.

    It's rather unlikely that you don't have some version of Java installed if you visit a lot of websites.
