Thank you both for your comments. I myself am on Broadband but the machine
I am referring to belongs to someone else. I believe last time I looked at
their machine I could not see that same feature in the connection icon. I
will check with Vista OS newsgroup.
Thanks
The connection icon in the system tray is part of Windows, not
part of the email client (OE or Windows Mail). My Vista
connection icon does not reveal connect speed (I'm on DSL),
but perhaps it does for a dial-up connection. Regardless,
it's not a Windows Mail issue.
