Why does hovering no longer change my status bar?

Hello, all,

Until a few days ago, whenever I hovered the cursor over a link, the
IE6 status bar would show the URL of that link.  For some reason it
has stopped working.  Now when I hover over a link, the status bar
either says, "Done" or it's blank except for an icon.

Seeing the full URL before you click it is very handy and can alert
you to a URL that is suspicious.

Any ideas on how I can return the status bar to its full potential?
Is this a problem with the Registry?

Thanks from JohnnyG

P.S. I use Internet Explorer version 6, SP-2 on a Windows XP machine.

Yes, just a plain old link.  An example is http://www.google.com.
Incidentally, it works just fine using Fire Fox 2.

Should I ever expect an answer to this question?

Works fine for me.   What does tabbing do?

BTW any possibility you could use a real newsreader
or stop using  Quoted Printable  with whatever it is that
you are using?
