| | Re: Reversing Default Email - Something Supid, I Suppose The newsgroup to which you posted is dedicated to the Windows Mail program. You will get more help by posting that question in the Windows Live Mail newsgroup: http://www.microsoft.com/communities...e.mail.desktop or via your news reader: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...e.mail.desktop I am cross-posting to that newsgroup, so look for replies there. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Captain" <Captainnospam@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:43B214A8-D7A3-481B-990A-B42AAA66B5EE@xxxxxx Quote: > In my haste while updating Windows Live Essentials, I inadvertently selected > “Windows Live Mail” as my default email program.

| | Re: Reversing Default Email - Something Supid, I Suppose Hmmm, it still isn't clear what you did, since Windows Mail can't be downloaded. It only comes with the Vista OS Good to hear that everything turned out OK.. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Captain" <Captainnospam@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:933CB290-A6D3-49C4-A428-022AED0C5535@xxxxxx Quote: > Okay, I'm a proponent of "full-disclosure," and being open and honest, > regardless of the issue.
