Norman, I was reasonably satisfied with OE6, but I'm struggling with Windows
Mail and am considering Windows Live Mail.
What are the shortcomings of OE6 to which you refer? And what are the
things that WLM can't do?
I liked the mention of being able to edit messages in Thunderbird. In OE6,
if I wanted to print a cleaned-up version of a message (eg, without the
prior messages in the thread), I had to save the message to the desktop and
edit it in NoteTab before printing -- very tedious. Am I right to infer
that Thunderbird can do that within the program?
