years.... whats the advantage.... what mail programs are we "suppose to be
using" for Win 7?

Vista came with "windows mail" and Windows 7 now has "Windows live mail".
Outlook Express is not available as a standalone program. It comes packaged
with earlier versions of IE.

Microsoft Outlook will and does work with Windows 7.

Win 7 installed

Does this mean .. does it really mean .... that OE uses IE to display
HTML messages? Was that your admission?

no dumbass. The only way you can get OE is to install IE 6 or earlier.
Or whichever version of IE was on XP.
Some sites may claim they have a stand alone version of OE, but I've never
had the need for one. So I don't kow if that would work or not.

Challenge: Show me a photo of OE messages opening in a browser.
From within OE. Do not extract the messages and open independently.

Does 40tude dialog use your browser to open posts sent in html?

his claim is that OE does not understand html so it opens emails in IE.
in the same respect, 40tude is also an email client and it certainly
handles html just fine. I guess he feels that only a web browser knows how
to decode html.

Twisted words once again.
I said you need "windows mail" or "windows live mail" to open .eml files
with. I said nothing of installing either on XP.
