Very cool. I had not heard of Windows Live Mail. I thought Lupe was talking
about the Windows Live Hotmail. I might have to give it a try. I had
wondered why Windows Mail would not even get messages for an HTTP server
since hotmail is on one. Any chance of Windows Mail getting the features of
Windows Live Mail? I really like Windows Mail's Newsgroup's. they are very
handy. If Windows Live Mail had newsgroups that are set up similar to
Windows Mail I will definitely make the swap! Thanks for the info and
setting me and Lupe straight.
