Snake, this sort of thing just won't happen if you stop using Outlook
and go over to a real newsreader and a real email program. Try Free
Agent (it's free) for newsreading and try Pegasus or Eudora for email.

Well, whadayaknow...those programs will override a deliberate
"accidental" post to a newsgroup?

R,
You simply configure MS Lookout to go to your mail account and the
newreader to go to the news account and keep them separate that way.
It's not foolproof but if you have to switch apps to do functions it'll
cut down on the chances of a mistake.

I use Thoth for newsreading and Mozzilla for mail.

Thanks, Allen, but a) there's a very good chance you got the term
(directly or indirectly) "Lookout (Distress)" from me, on or off ROFF,
which leads to b), I'd not use it for anything, at any time, configured
or unconfigured. I use a separate client for a newsreader (Agent, 1.93
and 2.0x) and I'm not the one who posted an alleged email to ROFF.

And as aside, I'm not particularly anti-MS - some of their stuff is OK,
some ain't, and no, I didn't and don't REALLY think "Gill Bates" is the
"Un-natural hellspawn of some four-eyed limp-wristed devil with a
perma-swirly and a light little chip on his weak, dainty shoulder"

Thanks, anyway,
R
