NB. It REPLACES Windows Mail rather than an alternative
so don't install it if you are very happy with WM.

Good feature in compose mail window where
Font shows you actual font rather than just a name.

WLM removes the WM shortcut and sets itself as the default email
program. Both of those changes can easily be 'fixed'. I have both
programs running so I can evaluate them side by side.

I'm also discovering new goodies.
I just noticed WLM does real-time spell checking, and underlines
the misspelled word with a red squiggly line right after the word

I'm still away, but the hotel room has Wi-Fi access.
I have a few minutes now and then to catch up with what's
happening with WM/WLM.

So no 'on the road' problems accessing your ISP
with WLM, same settings etc?

Same settings, no problems, nor did I expect any problems. All
four of my POP email providers have SMTP on a port other than '25'.

Shame about Tbirds missing features :-(
