I must have missed some posts leading up to this. What's the reason why
Windows Mail SHOULD look like that?

If anything, this should be an option to view messages through the Explorer,
not the default.

The same reason why Windows Calendar, Windows Media Player, Windows Photo
Gallery, Windows DVD Maker, Contacts, et al look like the way they do.

Something to do with the "Vista look-and-feel" that Windows Mail somehow get
left out of

This was not about viewing messages through the Explorer, just to give
Windows Mail a look that's consistent with the rest of Vista's payload.

Quit trying to deny that the current Windows 98-era relic has no place in
the revamp that Vista's supposed to be

Well, that means Windows Media Player 11, PhotoGallery and Windows Calendar
should look like Explorer too.

Unless you want them to look like something out of Windows 98.
