Go to Tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Store Folder and it will
tell you were the message store is located. The stationery directory is a
subdirectory of that directory.

If you compose a message using stationery, then go to View | Source Edit and
click on the source tab and look in the message head for the <Base href and
that is the stationery directory that WinMail is using.
