Dear Computer Lady,
Everyone of my e-mails comes through with a yellow line above the
message portion. I have to remove in order to see everything on it.
How can I get rid of this?
I am using Windows Mail. We have Windows Vista on our computer.
My computer geek says to go to message and then junk mail and then
put message or sender on safe sender's list but that doesn't work.
Any suggestions??
Margaret
Dear Margaret,
You can turn off the blocking of pictures in HTML messages, but
before you do, you should make sure that you have a good antivirus
program installed and updated. Allowing all pictures in your email
to be automatically opened, will leave you a little more at risk
for a virus infection.
In Windows Mail, just follow these directions:
1. Open Windows Mail.
2. Click on "Tools" in the menu bar, then click on "Options".
3. Click on the "Security" tab.
4. About halfway down the Security page, there is a section that
says, "Download Images". Click to remove the check mark in front of,
"Block images and other external content in HTML messages".
5. Click the "OK" button at the bottom of the window to save your
changes and close the window.
If you are using Windows Live Mail, it is a little different:
1. Open Windows Live Mail.
2. Click on the tab to the left of the "Home" tab.
3. In the drop-down menu, point to "Options" and then click on
"Safety Options".
4. In the, Safety Options, dialog box, click on the "Security" tab.
5. In the "Download Images" section of the page, click to remove the
check mark in front of "Block images and other external content in
HTML email".
6. Click the "OK" button at the bottom of the window to save your
changes and close the window.

Dear Computer Lady,
Love your site and would love your newsletter. Question: How do I
make gmail my default mail server in irfranview. I do not use
outlook express.
Thanks for your time, Flo
Dear Flo,
Thanks for your email. I added you to my weekly email list.
Unfortunately, you can't add Gmail as your default email server in
Irfanview, because Gmail is web based email, and you are not using
an actual email program.
There is, however, a way you can work around this problem.
You can set up Outlook Express to work with your Gmail account.
Gmail has some great, step by step directions for this at:
https://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=77659
Once you have set up Gmail to work with Outlook Express, when you
want to send a picture from Irfanview, your computer will use
Outlook Express to send the picture through your Gmail account.
Hope this helps,
Elizabeth

To the left of the hotmail site I can add new folders, but nowhere allows me to remove old folders. Can you help me with this? Thank You, Constance Dear Constance, Hotmail has a set of folders that can't be removed. Those folders are the Inbox, Junk, Drafts, Sent and Deleted folders. These folders will always be there, and you don't have the ability to delete them. If you create more folders, however, they can be deleted, just follow these directions: 1. Go to your Hotmail account and log in so that you have your list of folders on the left. 2. With your cursor, point to the word, "Folders" and a small gear will appear just to the right of "Folders". 3. Click on the gear, then click "Manage Folders. 4. A list of your folders will appear. Folders that can be deleted will have a small box to the left of the folder name. 5. Click to place a check mark in front of the folder you want to remove, then click the word, "Delete" at the top of the folder list.

Can you help me with some questions? I have heard that local libraries have "free downloads" to Kindles (and possibly some other readers), but if I download a book at my library, do I have it for only 2 weeks like I would if I checked out a "normal book"? Thanks, Sherry Dear Sherry, I did a little research on Amazon's website and found that questions about loan duration need to be asked at your local library. The Maine state library has a lending period of either 7 or 14 days, the choice appears to be yours. Once the lending period is over, the book remains on your Kindle until you delete it, but you will not be able to open it. It does appear that you can check out the same book again if you did not finish it in the time you had it checked out. I would suggest you check with your local library to see what their ebook lending program is like. Elizabeth You can read this article online, view & leave comments at:

George Posted By: Judi By Email Comment: Hi, I enjoy your Newsletter very much. I received an IPad last year, I attended a class on e-readers. It was during this class that I was told that Kindles was not compatible with The Library in our city. (The Nook was.) I read later in the year that now they were. I don't know if this is something that is a problem every where or just our city. But, if you plan to check out ebooks from the library, it might pay to check into this.
