Like I said many times last week, I had the same problem with Windows
Mail and I downloaded an update from the Microsoft download site, which
is KB 941040, installed it, rebooted my computer and everything works
perfectly for Windows Mail again. Try it, you'll see! It's part of SP1
but it's not an automatic update like for Windows Vista program.
