Vista - Can you send msg to user accts?

Can you send messages through WM to other users on the same computer (without
actually sending them email through the ISP)?

Just asking... it would be handy for me.

Messenger maybe. I dunno.

How do you imagine such occuring?

Post it note? <G>

What set this idea off was when I went into my address book to import my
contacts back in January and, I saw that my login had a contact spot in the
address book. Out of curiosity, I did like I was going to send it a message
and a new message came up... but I didn't actually send one to see what would
happen and deleted the contact listing. I needed to send my husband some
info yesterday and I remembered my login being in the contacts and thought
there might be a way to do it without actually sending email.

You could use Messenger, but if its to his computer, you could share across
a network. Probably email was the best.
