Thanks for the reply!
It seems to be a bit chaotic as there are thousands of threads on
WinMail in
Windows Vista Forums > Programs
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...grams/threads?

It is chaotic. There are only 16 forums for Vista. Besides not being well
defined, people tend to post wherever they want without reading what
little instructions there are. I find WinMail posts in Desktop and Files
as well.

Take a look at Microsoft Answers Site Feedback forum. Even though it
clearly states that "Technical Questions Are Not Answered in This Site
Feedback Forum", about 90% of the questions are about technical issues.

Yes, it's a real mess :-(

Do you know in which forum one might meet the "regulars" like Steve
Cochran and Gary VanderMolen?

TIA
Rainald

I do Windows Mail support in this forum:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...istanetworking

I do Windows Live Mail support in this forum:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...n-US/w7network

and somewhat here also:
http://www.windowslivehelp.com/forums.aspx?productid=15

I don't like to work in that last forum because
a) it doesn't work with the Community Bridge, and
b) it is inundated with users posting their Hotmail problems.

Thanks a lot for the info!
Great to know where I can find you!
Still working with WinMail(under Vista as well as under Win7) this for
sure is most valuable.

Thanks for the pointer!

That's a really drawback!
As a hard-core NNTP fanatic I guess that I will hardly go there too
often.

The way Hotmai users normally behave, this does not sound too promising
;-) :-)

Thanks again
and kindest regards
