Default Messages That Just Stick In The Outbox

Thanks for the comeback.

Cheers to you too.

My version is: Version 2008 [Build 12.0.1606]


Yes, that version, WLM 12 is, overall, probably the better
one. I think you were wise to stick with it.

Not sure but mine appears to be older version than yours but
Microsoft Update hasn't offered any newer version to me.


Right. I think they are being wisely cautious at Microsoft
Windows Update.

Actually I have not switched from OE as I use either one,
with OE as the default program for eml and nws messages. WLM
took my defaults away even when I told it not to, but I
snatched them back. Seems to work for me having both
available. I use WLM mostly for hotmail although not
exclusively so.


That's basically what I'm doing as well. I've made OE6 my
default program for eml and nws messages and just use WLM 14
for experiments.

It's interesting that you don't have this "messages sticking
in the outbox" problem in WLM 12. As far as I can recall. I
don't believe I did either.

My WLM works as OE does and holds the message in the Out box
until I send It. [Doug W.]


So that appears to be another bug in WLM 14 that WLM 12 does
NOT have.

Cheers,

Interesting.

No...

I'm using the newest version of WLM, 14.0.8050.1202...

Which admittedly miraculously went from bug-plagued beta to
supposedly finished RTW version overnight.

Which version of WLM are you using and when did you switch
from OE?

N. B. I'm sending this from Outlook Express, because it's
more reliable.

O.K.

Good...

We've now established that the...

"Send this message later, when I trigger it to be sent,
rather than
immediately"...

Function...

So useful in Outlook Express...

Has been botched, excised and eliminated in Windows Live
Mail --
allegedly out of some loony belief that the send functions
in WLM needed to be "Regularized".

There they go again...

So they've introduced a New Bug in WLM.
