Vista - Windows Mail Thinks It's Outlook Express

With all the big deal about Outlook Express being gone, and Windows Mail
being its replacement in Vista, why does my Windows Mail say at the title
bar:

Inbox - Outlook Express

??

Originally, I did import my messages, etc. from OE from my WinXP machine,
but the latest WM install is rebuilt from scratch (finally fixing a two
month nightmare).

So, why is my Windows Mail suffering from an identity crisis? It's NOT
Outlook Express (wouldn't have wasted a total of about 40 hours, if it
were), so why is it CALLED that?

Or, if it's just my machine, how do I get it to fess-up, and call a spade a
spade?? ;-)

Mine says "Windows Mail", but I found one that's much better, more friendly,
more fun, and doesn't seem to hang up like WM so often does. Check out the
Beta of Windows Live Mail, I think you'll be impressed.

Thanks, but with all the problems I've had with Windows Mail, and with all
the warnings there are when downloading the /Beta/ of Windows Live Mail, I
don't think I'll chance it. At this time.

Suit yourself.
Of those who have tried WLM, most have agreed that it is more stable
and trouble-free than WM.
