I think people are moving more toward Outlook as it's much easier and less
fraught than Windows Live Mail which is what you have to install on Windows
& or some other 3rd party email client like Thunderbird.

Yes, thanks for your suggestion.
I have on occasion saved some emails but recently I found that they didn't
always save well as a document.
I didn't know either that Outlook Express was no longer supported.
Well, this latest annoyance is the straw that broke the camel's back because
I am now awaiting a new computer with the dreaded Windows 7. I'd love to
know whether I should use Windows Live Mail or Outlook?
Best wishes,
Joan.
