    No beta build of Win7 includes a Mail Client, Don.

    The latest Win7 build I have tried (7264, dated July 1st) still allows
    the hack where you copy over a working WM from a Vista system.
    There is no guarantee that the final (RTM) version will accommodate
    that hack.

    If I do an in-place upgrade to 7 from Vista will WM work?

    You'll have to wait for the final RTM builds to know that.

    No. You can only make it work with the hack I described.
    Incidentally, I am sending this post via Windows Mail running
    in Win7 build 7264.
