Can't replicate the problem here, Outlook 2003 11.8026.8036 SP2 -----Original Message----- From: Richard M. Smith [mailto:rms () computerbytesman com] Sent: Wednesday, November 08, 2006 12:21 PM To: 'FunSec [List]' Subject: [funsec] What's up with Slashdot and Outlook Hi, Does anyone on the list have a theory of why copying text from a Slashdot Web page and pasting it into an new HTML email message in Outlook 2003 is very slow? I just timed a simple paste operation from Slashdot and it took 35 seconds for Outlook to do the operation. Something doesn't seem right. Here is the test I'm running: 1. Start Outlook and open up a new HTML email message. 2. Start IE and go to slashdot.org 3. Select the word "Posted" in the first Slashdot message and copy it to the clipboard 4. Paste the word into the HTML email message 5. Wait for 35 seconds as Outlook "thinks". Thanks, Richard M. Smith http://www.ComputerBytesMan.com P.S. I don't see the problem on any other Web site. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
