When it was supported, OE came bundled with IE.

OE has long been unsupported. It is a dead program. The last program
updates were back in 2002 (with one functional change in SP-2 for Windows
XP). The development team was disbanded in 2006.

As of IE7 and later, OE is no longer bundled with IE. Microsoft isn't going
to bundle unsupported products with supported products.

You can't get OE separate from IE. They came bundled together.

Vista comes with IE7 and Windows 7 comes with IE8 as their baseline versions
of that web browser. You cannot install earlier versions of IE on those
Windows platforms.

You could run VirtualPC, VMWare Server, VirtualBox, or other virtual machine
managers (VMM) on Vista, install a pre-Vista version of Windows in a virtual
machine, and have OE running inside that virtual machine. That requires
installing the VMM, installing an OS in a virtual machine (VM), and then
load that VM when you want to run OE. A lot of work and nuisance to run a
long-dead e-mail client.

Windows Mail (WM) is the e-mail client included in Windows Vista. Windows
Live Mail (WLM) is the replacement for both OE and WM; go to
http://download.live.com. After installing just WLM, go into Add/Remove
Programs and uninstall the extra fluff software that Microsoft pushes onto
you. While WLM is reminiscent of OE, it has some functional differences.
The WLM newsgroup is at:

microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

There are other [free] e-mail client alternatives, like Thunderbird.

Nope. Didn't work in Vista either, although WinMail was a kissin' cousin.
You could get Microsoft Virtual PC and install XP as a virtual machine and
use OE, but that's the best you can do.

Thanks. I thought that might be the case. Looks like I'll be going to
Thunderbird.
