    "Unable to create this stationery." Message

    Windows 7 RC
    Windows Live Mail 2009 V14.0.8064.0206

    The first time I want to open a new mail window I get this message:

    "Unable to create this stationery."



    When I click the OK button the new mail window opens with the proper
    stationery. After that I do not get the message again until I close Windows
    Live Mail and then restart it.

    I use the same stationery In Windows Mail (Vista Home Premium) and Outlook
    Express (XP Pro SP-3) and there I do not have this problem.

    The stationery HTML file and the associated GIF file are saved in the same
    folder where the other stationery files are.

    Any idea what's happening here?

    Here is the HTML for my stationery:
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <STYLE>
    BODY {
    font-family: Verdana;
    font-size: 10pt;
    color: 000000;
    background-position: top left;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    }
    </STYLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY id="ridBody">
    <BR><BR><BR>
    <HR>
    <P>My personal message inserted here.</P>
    <IMG src="a032.gif" border=0>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>

    The style specifies background position and repeat, yet no background image
    is specified in the body.
    Do other stationeries work?

    I tried a couple of stationeries that come with Windows Live Mail and they
    behave the same way.

    You said Windows 7 RC, but what version of IE?
    Hopefully someone with Windows 7 RC will see this post and tell if they are
    having the same problem.

    Re: "Unable to create this stationery." Message

    HI, Ron.

    I don't know anything about stationery - never use it at all.

    But every copy of Win7 RC comes with IE8, Version 8.0.7100.0.

    The 64-bit Win7RC comes with TWO versions of IE8 already installed. The
    32-bit version runs by default, but the 64-bit version can be run by
    clicking on its .exe file. Help | About for the 64-bit IE8 says "64-bit
    Edition"; the 32-bit IE8 doesn't mention "bitness". Both show the same
    version number.

    Yes, I get it also.
    I seldom send emails with WLM, and thought it was just the particular
    stationary I had set. But I changed the stationary, and still get the error
    message. It only happens the first time creating an email after opening
    WLM.

    A version of IE8 comes with Windows 7..... 8.0.7100.0

    <HR> is "horizontal line".
    Everything else is the same as in the stationery installed by Windows Live
    Mail. That stationery produces the same behavior as mine.
