Can't access address book

C

Cindy

I recently upgraded my computer to Windows XP and just
now tried to open my address book on Word 2000, but have
been unable to do so. The error message I get says Log
on failed. You must log on to Microsoft Exchange to
access your address book. Error code: Unspecified
error. I ran a search on my computer and discovered that
I don't have microsoft exchange. How am I supposed to
look at my address book? Any suggestions?

In some of my previous postings to this newsgroup I was
stupid enough to publish my unmodified e-mail in clear
text - and immediately got 16 letters (2,5 Mb) with
different funny attachments...

Are you guys not afraid of that? Or you know an anti-virus-
spam wonder-program?

I would rather suggest that Microsoft forbids explicitly
the field "e-mail" by postings, so that the people who
really want to publish their real e-mail would have to
write in in the message body (with changes).

The spammers now have a software utility that simply spends 24 hours a day
scanning (harvesting) everything it can (Newsgroups, Web site absolutely
anywhere open to the public) for valid email addresses. Any address found
gets added to SPAM lists. You need to 'mung' your email address. For
example, if you are [email protected], then use something like
[email protected] or Cyril dot smith at hotmail dot com or if you
have to post to a site that requires a correctly formatted email address use
[email protected] .

As we humans can think for ourselves, we will easily spot your real email if
we want to sent to you: fortunately, the harvesters are still too dumb to do
this.
