When I type this in an email message "Haven't heard anything yet but=20
I'll let you know."
It comes out looking like this when it's received - "Haven,t heard=20
anything yet but I,ll let you know."
And looking the same way when it's part of the response I receive.
Why? Is there a setting or preference that I can change to keep this =

Replies end up in Inbox
I have a client whose using Entourage X. On occasion, when he replies to
message, a small note appears at the top of the message indicating that the
reply will be saved to the Inbox. Why is this happening? Shouldn't all sent

Color of Visited Links
Hi--
I have Entourage 10.1.4 .
How can I make the web links in my inbox e-mails change color after I have

Addressing Email
In Entourage running in Mac OS X, the address pane for email seems to show

Anyone have the executable expressionX.dmg for creating soundsets

All data disappeared! What happened?
Something really weird happened after I installed several new programs. When
I opened Entourage all my data, folders, and settings were gone, empty, as
if this were the first time I was using the program, as if I'd never
configured it or downloaded any email. I nearly freaked out but remained
certain that the data was there somewhere.
Turns out it was. For some reason, a 2nd Microsoft User Data file got
created in a different location, and that's what Entourage was showing. When
I deleted this file and placed the original Microsoft User Data file in its
place (I found it elsewhere on my HD), all my data reappeared, thank
goodness.
I'd like to understand what happened--how on earth this 2nd Microsoft User
Data file got created-- to make sure it doesn't happen again. Anyone have
any ideas? Thanks! Tag: odd characters Tag: 32242
Importing files from X to X?
I have moved to a new computer (Mac G4) and need to transfer all my

run into this? And how do I solve it?

Entourage 2001 (9.0.4)
A friend sent me an email with a couple of pdf files attached. As well as a
Microsoft Paint file. Every time I try to open this, my computer crashes.
I've tried deleting also but that too will crash my computer. Very weird and
have never had this happen before. I'm running OS 9.2.2. Is there a way to
get rid of this email, somewhere in the System Folder perhaps? Any thoughts
or ideas on how to rid Entourage of this email would be appreciated. Thank

Script to change subject
Hello,
I am looking for an AppleScript that I can call up as part of a rule
to automatically remove a specific phrase from the subject line of
incoming mail.
Basically, my employer recently began using Spam Assassin on the mail
gateway to screen all incoming email. When Spam Assassin detects spam
it adds the phrase "===SPAM===" to the beginning of the subject line.
Spam Assassin manages to catch some spam, but it also marks a lot of
legitimate mail as spam as well. Roughly half of the mail entering my
inbox these days is incorrectly marked as spam.
I currently use SpamSieve to manage my spam locally ? with great
success.
What I would like to do is find an AppleScript that I can call up as
part of a Rule to remove the "===SPAM===" from the subject line of
incoming mail. Then I will send the mail through SpamSieve for proper
spam detection.
I have been looking around on the net for a couple of weeks and all I
have been able to find are scripts that allow you to change the
subject of individual messages with a dialog box. These work well, but
I would like something a bit more automated.
If anyone knows of such a script, please point me to it.
Thanks in advance...

Entourage Junk Mail filter has taken over my mail. Help!
I started using Entourage's junk mail filter as an attempt to get rid
of a stream of irritating spam/virus mail purportedly from Microsoft.
It didn't help. It only labeled the mails as junk, but it didn't do
anything. So I increased the level of junk mail rigor using the slider
provided in Entourage. Then I found that many of my mailing list
incoming mails were disappearing into the Trash. I added the name of
the domain originating these mails to the list of exceptions, but that
didn't help. I then tried to move selected items from the Trash to the
INBOX but they keep popping back to the Trash.
Next, I turned the junk mail filter OFF altogether. Surprise! the
filter is like the Sorcerer's Apprentice. It continues to do nasty
things to my mail even though I have killed it.
I tired rebuilding the database out of desperation, but that didn't
help either. Tag: odd characters Tag: 32218

Cannot send email
I am having a problem with Mac Entourage X Service Release 1 version
10.1.4. I purchased Office X for my wife and I updated it to 10.1.5.
She was sending and receiving with regularity. Now she has a problem
sending and receiving her emails. I fiddled around with it and I
think that I have it working because I can send email now. I just
sent one and it disappeared from the out box, unlike the other email
that I sent earlier that is sitting in the out box. The problem is I
did not receive it. I sent the email from and to her email in
Entourage. I clicked, grudgingly, the send and receive button and I
got nothing. It finally said there was a network error. I think that
this is the problem. My wife sent 6 emails and they stayed in the out
box. I set up the username and the like and now she should be able to
send and receive, I reset everything the same as I did in her Mail
account on Mac OS 10.2.8. Mail in 10.2.8 can now send and receive
email. It did not before. I got a message saying the password and
username are not accepted. I think that I have to delete her email
in her out box in order to get her Entourage to send and recieve. I
wish that there is a receive button instead of the send/receive
button. Do I have to do this or is their another way that I do not
know about? By the way, is there a two button scrolling optical mouse
that works well with Jaguar that I can plug into my keyboard? Also
are there any USB adapter that I can use to plug in more USB devices? Tag: odd characters Tag: 32210
Messages with embedded files?
When reading newsgroups with Entorage for OSX, there are some messages which
are labeled as being a file (ie .mpg or .rm or .wmv), and they're big
messages (ie 1Mb). But the files aren't attached (the way others are), they
come up in the body of the message as all that gibberish. Is there any way
to convert that back to a usable file? Can I save it somehow? Or within
Entourage? A plugin maybe? I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
Help.
Please post a reply because I don't check this email that often.

disappearing messages move from deleted to inbox
I'm using an IMAP account (via MS Exhange).
I flagged about 40 emails for "follow-up" in my inbox. After this I
accidentally deleted these emails.
Then I went into my deleted folder, selected the emails in question
and dragged them back to my inbox.
However the email were now neither in my inbox or my deleted folder, I
did a cmd-opt-L in both folders but no mail. I also logged into my
owa browser client and looked in both folders but the mails weren't
there?
As all of the emails were received in December I did an advanced
search on emails received in December - the emails weren't found.
Am I screwed? Anyone have a clue?

Setting Up Entoutage on a Mac Server
My company, Vintage Marketing has 9 employees and we use Entourage
with a POP mail. I would like to set up a server in house so we can
keep a backup copy of our emails. I would like to have the server keep
a copy of the mail and then have the email routed from the server to
the individual desktops and Powerbooks, that way, I have a copy on the
server and a copy on the individual desktops. Do I set the server up
as IMAP? How? Our dilema is that some of the employees here have email
databases that are 1.2 GB in size and are too large to leave a copy on
our ISP server.
I hope I am explaining myself clearly:
A. Mail comes in and sent from www.vintagemarketing.com (our hosting
Co) Sometimes I switch my sending mail to our ISP SMTP if my hosting
comapny is down (IPOWERWEB).
B. I want the mail to come into my server (Still to be set up)
C. I want the mail to be routed from the server to the individual
desktops.
Thus creating a duplicate backup of email databases and making the
owner and partners happy assured that thir email is backed up if they
ever loose their Powerbooks.
I am hoping someone can point me in the right dircetion to get this up
and running. Thank you in advance!!

More error -192
Well once again the "phantom" of the -192 error message has reappeared-
I have the latest Panther upgrade 10.3.2 (on my 17" iMac) and the latest
Entourage version 10.1.4
This latest occurrence had no other prior warnings- the only open
application was Safari - after downloading my mail I suddenly received the
error message - the icons on the left side would grey out as my mouse moved
over them (except the mail icon). I wish I could provide some other clues.
Since the 10.1.2 upgrade Entourage has been a bit temperamental.
With the multiple messages regarding this error any other thoughts (I am
not using Fast user switcher- only user is myself) - could this be a problem
with the OS and Entourage?
Look forward to everyone's advice and thoughts.
