AskWoody LoungerFebruary 16, 2012 at 9:05 am in reply to: Any rumors of Windows Mail-like client for Windows 8? #1319855Yes WLM does support stationeries BUT…it decides to strip some of the coding in the stationery and it does not perform like it should, or it adds extra stuff to the coding and then causes even more havoc. You have to use short paths of the sources and sometimes that does not owrk properly, so all in all WLM causes more problems. I have tried to use WLM stationery, the kind that comes with programme and then I get error messages that says it cannot recreate the stationery. now this is the stationery designed by WLM…so frustrating. There are other features I do not like about WLM, to me it is not user friendly. if OE does not return I am prepared to buy another programme that does support Stationery. i have been trialling it and it works fine, just a bit more convuluted than OE and the stationery has to be created using IE8 HTML, but that is work around and far better than WLM…
I have had a look at Thunderbird today and not sure that I could settle to using it.
Dream Mail out of China, is ok, but just have too many questions regarding security. it still does not perfom like OE…

We are not troglodytes, we just enjoy OE and it supported our hobby very well. So easy to use without all the other stuff we don’t want. i have used OE since well, let’s leave the year out of this. The stationery works perfectly in OE, we make all singing all dancing email stationery.

AskWoody LoungerFebruary 16, 2012 at 5:42 am in reply to: Any rumors of Windows Mail-like client for Windows 8? #1319802I enjoy creating email stationery. When Outlook Express died, so did my enjoyment. WLM has corrupted OE on my computer I am running XP and until Windows give us back OE as an email client, I wont be upgrading my OS. on my new computer I removed Windows 7 and installed XP specifically to enjoy my hobby.
Yes, you can adapt to create stationery to be able used in the newer email clients, but it becomnes a tme consuming job and having to write scripts to accommoadte different email clients because the univeral OE has gone, has removed the enjoyment.
Like the original OP my life is in the OE folders and message rules. Life was so simple back then. Why oh why wont MS listen to what we the users would like?
Oh before the gurus declare open season on me, some of us do not have the technical expertise and find the KISS methodsuits us. I have tried other email clients similar to OE and that is the operative word similar..I need the Source tab, I need the edit tab.
Just my input and voicing the the majority opinion of OE stationery creators.
