Re: Windows Mail (Vista) vs Windows Live Mail vs Windows Hotmail

Hi, Shawn.

Well they could have said so! It would have taken only a few words, but
there's not a hint that it won't work on x64. :^{

Looks like even MSFT still regards 64-bit as a "second-class citizen".
:>( I see Gary is using 12.0.1365.

Thanks for the information. Where did you get it? Or is that not public?
