Resend: How delete cookies left by email messages?

This was posted on July 25 and may have been missed in the crush of the

How does one delete cookies left by messages opened in Entourage X SR1?
(Some companies, such as versiontracker.com and the New York Times, send
email messages with the option to accept or decline cookies. I accidentally
clicked "accept" but do not know where the cookies are stored.)

It was suggested off-line that the cookies would probably be stored in my
browser's cookie cache.

I cleared all cookies from my browser, re-launched, and then opened an
Entourage X message from versiontracker.com with a year 2005 expiration date
and clicked on the "accept" cookies option. But the browser did not record
the saving of a cookie then or when I quit out of both Entourage and the
browser and re-launched.

It was suggested that cookies do not pose a danger. Even so, they do track
the consumer's patterns of value to those who craft and target marketing
efforts.

So, where might the Entourage X email cookies be stored?

That could be.

What browser are you using? I'd imagine that since Entourage uses the
Internet Explorer rendering engine, they'd show up in Internet Explorer's
preference dialog under Receiving Files > Cookies (you would not see these
cookies in Safari, Opera, OmniWeb, Netscape, etc.).

What I would recommend trying would be to open Internet Explorer, clear all
of the cookies, and then quit. Then, launch Entourage, open the message,
and choose to accept cookies. Now re-launch Internet Explorer and check to
see if the cookie has been recorded.

I agree.

Did you try Entourage's browser - Internet Explorer - rather than "your"
browser?

Please "Reply To Newsgroup" to reply to this message. Emails will be
ignored.

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X.
It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.

Thanks, Paul. I checked all browsers' cookies caches but had Safari
operating as default browser when I ran my test today. I will have
Internet Explorer set as the default browser when I open tomorrow's mail
from versiontracker.com.
