"Outlook Express doesn't correctly handle MIME, and won't display the body of signed messages inline. Users get a blank email and two attachments (one of the message text and one of the signature) and therefore need to open an attachment to see the email."

For most this usually just works since the 8000 pound gorilla has forced some to send MIME that works with OLEXP. If it doesn't comply then there is no fix for this one.

Help, my PC with Windows 10 won't shut down properly

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my computer won't shut down properly. I use the menu button shutdown and the screen goes blank, but the system does not fully shut down. The only way to get it to shut down is to hold the physical power button down till it shuts down. Any suggestions?
