OT - Outlook Express Replacement

I didn't know OE was being replaced!?!?! I use it as my main email program
(along with Yahoo as a secondary). I'll have to look into Windows Live
Mail.....

Anybody download and install Windows Live Mail? I just did and I kind of
like it. It didn't import all the threads from Outlook Express, but
that's OK. I do have a couple of Hotmail addresses that I read through
Windows Live Mail now.

Apparently Microsoft is not supporting Outlook Express after June 30.

Whoa-ho!! This new thing has a right-click spell checker!

I didn't know they were doing away with Outlook Express. I know Windows XP
will not be sold after June.

I got an email from Microsoft about it, maybe a month or more ago. I just
now finally followed through.

I've been waiting for some improvements to Outlook Express for years!! Now
it even has RSS feeds. (Don't ask me what that is, but it's got 'em.)

At first I was afraid that it wouldn't have access to newsgroups, but it's
got everything and more!

I use Outlook for email, use Outlook Express only to read newsgroups. Are
there any improvements that would make it worth my while to download Windows
Live?

I use RSS feeds already! I guess prettier works! Guess I'll try it!

How about -- it's prettier? There are RSS feeds. (Someday I'll look up
exactly what RSS means. "Really Simple Something"?)

It seems faster, especially since I have two versions of Electric Quilt
and about 12 tabs in Internet Explorer open right now.

RSS= real simple syndication. A way to follow blogs easily. If you set
up your blog with it then people can click on the RSS icon and update
the blogs. (Or something like that..... DH was just explaining it to
me.Don't know that I got it all right. G)
