| | 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". |

| | Re: Can You Re-Send an E-Mail Message 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.

(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 ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |

| | Re: What can't WLM do? [was: Can You Re-Send an E-Mail Message] 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? Lindsay Graham Canberra, Australia "N.

| | Re: Can You Re-Send an E-Mail Message 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" "RonnieJP" <ronniejp@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OrfvC99TIHA.4360@xxxxxx Quote: > Has anyone figured out how to re-send an email in WLM?
