Do you have a pop-up blocker turned on? If your mail is trying to open in a new window, a pop-blocker will keep it from working.

While I totally get what you just told him, I have a feeling you blew right past what he can sort on his own.

Just like my husband (how long working on computers). I tend to do the same thing, and I also sometimes get my Linux commands crossed with Windows.. or, I tend to forget the Windows commands altogether because I don't normally work in that OS.

oh on a side not if you have windows XP there is a program built in called windows messenger its pretty much exactly the same as MSN just with a few less features
Vista most likely has it do but im not 100% sure since i hate vista

windows messenger is built into window operating system just look on your start menu under all programs and you can log into it the same as you so with Windows live messenger so you will get your email as well as all the contacts on your MSN list like i said a few posts back it is exactly the same as MSN messenger just has a few features taken out
