Explain to the rest of he family that Microsoft has virtually
abandoned Windows Mail, and no more upgrades
or bug fixes will be forthcoming.
Windows Live Mail has many improvements and fixes
compared to Windows Mail. For example, real-time spell
checking, auto-correction of commonly misspelled words,
auto-completion of recipients, etc.
