Thanks again for the prompt response.

First, about the mail question:
OE doesn't cause any problem. The mail I'm trying to send is written on the
Wanadoo Internet assistance page.

On another hand, their site is frequently failing. For 3 or 4 months, there
was a message telling that a "technical problem was present" avoiding the
changes on one's profile. They admit to know the problem, they promize tu
cure it ASAP ! ! ! !
Consequently I'm allowed to doubt on their services aren't they ?

I don't have any send mail issue via IE with other sites having an on-line
mail page. Only Wanadoo is of concern.

My ZA version is 3.5.169. I just tried to disable the cookie filtering as
well as I authorized cookies in IE. No changes. BTW, I'm running Win98SE.

Concerning the "i" on some of the web page image areas . My understanding is
that ZA does correctly its job filtering the ads. I've no more pop-ups since
I installed the FW and lots of "double click" or similar ad pages have
disappeared from the cache. The drawback is that some images aren't
displayed. The question is that I'd like to understand what it's filtering
and how much the filtering is aggressive.

I enabled the privacy advisor. there was 3 types of messages: web bug with
www.wanadoo.fr, cookies and private headers with
"recherche.assistance.wanadoo.fr". I also got "i1.woopic.com" but dunno what
kind of cookie it was attached to.

Bye
