Vista - Can You Re-Send an E-Mail Message

Has anyone figured out how to re-send an email in WLM? It won't let me move
(or copy) an already sent message from the "sent" folder to the "outbox".

and clean up the message to make it look like a new one and Send.

Thunderbird has a great feature for doing stuff like this. You simply
select an item from your Sent folder, and choose the menu item "Edit as
"New". From that point on, you can edit the email and all other fields
as if it's a new email.

Outlook2003 also has an option to resend. I couldn't find it in WLM. Too
bad.

"resend" (puts an already sent email directly into the outbox without
further editing) and to "edit as new" (in case one wants to make changes
first).

Windows Live Mail is just intended as a substitute for MS Outlook Express 6
(Windows XP) and Windows Mail (Windows Vista). It retains a number of the
shortcomings of MS Outlook Express 6 (and, probably, though I have no
firsthand experience, Windows Mail).

If you want to do things that Windows Live Mail can't do, you just have to
get a client which will do those things; I don't see Microsoft adding
advanced features to a free application, especially when those features are
available in a Microsoft product which generates revenue through sales
(Microsoft Outlook).

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?

I simply "reply all" to a message in my sent folder. This auto-populates the
To & CC fields. The downside is that your name will be listed as a recipient
and your subject will be prepended with "re"
