232339 2004-04-27 03:19:00 When working offline in OE some emails insist on starting an internet connection. How do you stop this happening? Ian Burgess (4056)
232340 2004-04-27 03:51:00 Do you mean that the internet connection box pops up or do you mean that the computer starts trying to dial out to connect?

If the latter you can go into Internet Properties and choose Never Dial a Connection.

For the former there is nothing you can do about it as the email contains a graphic or something residing on a webpage/website that it is trying to display.

Have not got that option ticked myself but was unaware that removing the tick had that effect. Am not on dialup now so am unable to test it but will take your word for it. ;-)

Thanks for the tip WTF. :-)
