Windows Live Mail (WLM) lacks the ability that Outlook Express (OE) has
to view/edit the HTML source in a message that you are composing. There
is a workaround, but it is nowhere as convenient as in OE.
1 - Start composing the message as normal.
2 - When you get to the point when you want to edit the HTML, do a File,
Save As to an EML file. Close the message (X in the upper right hand
corner).
3 - Open the saved EML file in Notepad.
4 - At this point you can edit the HTML code. If you edit the text in
the HTML portion of the message, WLM will automatically update the plain
text portion when you send the message.
5 - Save the EML file from Notepad, then double click to open in WLM.
You can then send the message.
6 - The saved EML file can be deleted.
Note: If after opening the saved EML file you make some changes via WLM
and decide that you need to do make further source changes, you will
need to save to a different EML file, as the current one is locked by
WLM and won't let the Save As update it.
