Hi Belinda and list, I sent out 2 messages in reply to the thread about Windows Live Mail but they haven't gone through, so I'm trying again with a new subject line. I was suggesting that rather than using Windows Live Mail you could use a client such as Eudora for standard email and webmail for your hotmail account, I've been using Eudora for years and, as far as I know, JFW still has built in support for it.
