I saw your posting on vistax64.com, and I'm going to do what
they did to you. Go ask in the official Thunderbird
newsgroup. They can help you better there than here. Its
mozilla.support.thunderbird on the news.mozilla.org server.

from my understanding of it, winmail is vistas version of
OE, but is completely different than OE, thus TB and SM
don't have it in their imports.
