I use Windows Live Mail. After months and months of playing around with it,
wanting to beat my head against the wall and wanting to throw the computer
out the window, I finially got to a point where I can do what I need to do
with Windows Live Mail. I'll bet I check out blindcooltech.com to see I can
learn many more things about it I didn't know. Question. Why couldn't they
have kept Outlook Express. 73. Doug, N6NFF

Thanks, Steve.
At least now I know that if I can't successfully troubleshoot this Outlook
thing, there are other viable options out there.
I'll continue to be interested in the experiences of others on the
list--what works, what doesn't work, has anyone been able to successfully
use Outlook, etc..
As always, thanks to everyone for the help.
