To unscramble a newsgroup message

You cannot scramble messages and post them in Outlook Express, but if someone has posted a scrambled message to a newsgroup (using ROT13), you can unscramble it in Outlook Express and make it readable.

1. In the newsgroups message list, double-click a message to open it.
2. On the Message menu, click Unscramble (ROT13).

Note

• The ROT13 method of scrambling involves replacing each letter with one that appears 13 characters later in the alphabet. Though this is not secure, as encrypting is, it can be useful for sensitive or offensive information.
