minimize behavior

With the new update, when I minimize WLM it closes. Before I had it set that minimize
sends it to the system tray where I could see when I had new mail. I would like to set that
back but even if it just minimizes would be better than closing. Is this configurable?

It seems to have corrected itself. Now it has the same behavior that I had before the upgrade.
It minimizes to the system tray. But I don't see any place to set this option any longer.
I don't expect to change it so I'm probably ok with that.

I have to say though that I really can't deal with this not adding the markers to
quoted text. I have to do it manually and it's really annoying.

I would be using Thunderbird at the moment if it could have imported WLM
stuff. I will eventually have to make the time to manually add all of my servers
and groups. I am just too busy at the moment.

?Hi, Duane.

Which Windows version, exactly? And which WLM build? Oh, I see in your
headers that you are using WLM 2011 (15.4.3502.922), same as me, but please
always mention those key facts when you ask for help here. ;^}

In my Win7 Ultimate x64, WLM 2011 behaves just like it always has when I
click the Minimize button: It minimizes to the Taskbar, NOT to the
Notification Area (which we veterans still often call the SysTray).

As I recall, some prior versions could be set to behave as you say (minimize
to the SysTray) when we clicked the X to Exit WLM. Kind of reminded me of
the old TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) apps from a dozen or more years
ago. But I don't recall that clicking Minimize ever did that. And I don't
ever recall using Minimize to actually Close the program. Maybe someone
here will remind both of us.
