Saved email does not open in compose mode

Hi

As a practice, we used to save our composed mails on other drives (not in OE
Draft folder) and our server guy access it and send after verification. we
have some networked PCs. but on some PCs we cannot edit our saved mails
without clicking reply or forward button. But, some pcs, it works normally
and can edit without any addition task click. We are using XP and OE 6.
It will be very helpful if someone tell us what to do. We have tried whole
lot of
searches on sites but didnt get what we are looking for.

Are you composing the messages in OE and then moving them? Where on the
other drive are you moving them to?

Once you move them, they are probably reacting as if they were templates.
Read everything here, but use the fix in the last paragraph on the machines
with the problem.

I haven't seen anyone post with this problem in quite awhile, so make sure
all the machines are fully patched at Windows Updates.

Patch KB918766:
http://tinyurl.com/mx3r2

This patch addresses some of the issues that were caused by KB911567.

Address Book problems.
Unsent templates appearing as sent.
Manually compacting will now reset the registry counter to Zero in WinXP/SP2
and also sends a copy of your dbx files to the recycle bin as a temporary
backup.

To complete the fix for .eml templates, a registry change is needed. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918766

Tom Koch also has this information at his site, along with a downloadable
Zip file to do the registry change for you. See:

Hi

But, we tried to do this patch and regedit on Server 2003, first to back up
registry - %SystemRoot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe - this does not work.

Please instruct how to do.

I thought doing it on each PC would be the answer. Using a networked OE on
Server 2003 is out of my league. Let us hope someone with that area of
expertise picks up this thread.
