When Outlook 2007 and When Windows Live Mail

[Karl Snooks]

Oh holders of much knowledge and experience,

When is Outlook 2007 to be preferred over Windows Live Mail and vice versa? Let's consider only those cases where they provide the same or overlapping function.

Only required because above poster used QUOTED-PRINTABLE format.
When posting to newsgroups, do NOT use quoted-printable format.

* Not all NNTP clients handle quoted-printable format.
- Some users still use console-mode (non-GUI) NNTP clients.
- The long lines may not wrap properly.
- Scrolling is needed if the long lines do not get wrapped.
- The long line may get truncated at the window's width.
- Quoted-printable format uses special character sequences for
logical formatting. View the raw source of your post. Text-
only clients may show that encoding when viewing your post.
* Quoting levels get mangled, especially for multiple replies.
* In replies, there is no clear delineation of content.
- Cannot tell what content is from the original poster and
what is from the respondent.
- Makes impossible to determine who said what when a reply
inserts comments inline with the quoted content.

Also, do *not* use HTML format. Post using plain-text format.

If you are only going to consider those features that are the same
between different products then there exists no reason that one is
better than the other. If you want to know when to use one over the
other then you need to consider their DIFFERENCES.

If you're considering only those things that both Outlook and WLM do, then
the choice is completely up to you. I think I'd stick with WLM. However, I
really like those features of Outlook that WLM doesn't have.

Thanks to all for the various and similar comments. I'll probably continue to use WLM for email & News groups and use Outlook for everything else. I definitely like the Contacts offering of Outlook as opposed to that of WLM so will continue to occasionally import Outlook 2007 Contacts.

Once again thanks,
Karl

What aspect of Outlook's mail capability do you not like?
