Vista - how to View html source of composed emails

In Outlook express I had the option to enable a set of view tabs in the
status bar, between html, preview and edit. Is there such a function for WLM

That option is not available.

If you wish to read the history on that topic in this forum.

Windows Live Mail lacks the ability that Outlook Express 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.

Compose the message as normal. 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).

Open the saved EML file in Notepad.

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.

Save the EML file, then double click to open in WLM. You can then send
the message. And then 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.
