OT: "Windows Live Mail" format question

[Josepi]

What a waste of bandwidth and confusion (using ">") just to support some of the fancy email/usenet readers that confuse the hell out of the threading if one punctuation mark is missed. Leave it turned off

Just use top posting, the way it was intended to be with the reference text below. Who wants to read all that crap repeatedly, anyway? Stay tuned for the ADHD whining.

Oh LOOK! Your text is right under your OWN message identifier instead of the far end of the message.

Thanks.

Go to the top and click on "tools" in the bar on top. In that drop down menu that appears, click on "options" at the bottom When a new box appears, select the "send" tab Go down to "mail sending format", and select the box for "plain text". Click on "plain text settings". The box that appears has the setting you are looking for, to check or uncheck.

Except the 2011 version does NOT have a "tools" on the top bar.

Ahh. I missed the fact that he was in the 2011 version. I downloaded that, and immediately went back to the old, while I still could.

I don't ever use the option for my computer to update windows automatically. I select what to ignore, as I like.

In it's wisdom MS recently uploaded an "improved" version of WLM that no longer automatically quotes the message being replied to, and despite a howls of protests from WLM users has so far failed to fix this breathtakingly stupid blunder. This is a strong argument in favor of not downloading and installing Windows updates automatically, but rather waiting until you see the public reaction to the latest "improvements".

Some of it will crash your computer. You need to know what you feed your computer when it pukes.

I control my updates also and they are all done manually picked over.

MS is progressive and usually sets the future.
