Windows Patch?

Is Microsoft going to release a patch for all these problems with WinMail?
(For me I want to SEND messages). The methods with the WMUTil is just too
convoluted and probably should only be processed by experts

Re: Windows Patch?

They are going to replace it with Windows Live Mail pretty soon.

Re: Windows Patch?

The 'patch' was released May 30th and is called Windows Live Mail:

I still find Windows Mail, even with its shortcomings, to be preferable to
Windows Live Mail.

They claim that they will start supporting Windows Mail again.

I'll believe that when I see it.
And it will be too little -- too late.

Hah, good point. We sure had little luck during the Vista beta
convincing Microsoft to fix bugs in Windows Mail.

LOL that's cute.

Supporting a product only up to the point
where it needs to be supported is priceless.
