Actually, these should be compatible with Windows Mail also since Windows
Mail is actually Outlook Express under the hood (sadly, minus some of OE's
functionality). The main change for external programs is the file name for
the executable - "msimn.exe" was changed to "winmail.exe". The authors of
these programs shouldn't have much trouble revising them to reflect the new
executable name. Have you contacted any of them for work-arounds? I've
fixed some similar problems by editing the registry entries for external
programs to reflect the name change.
