I migrated my email from Outlook Express to Windows Mail...
for the mosst part, I like the new features and support in the new Mail
program...
But I have come across one problem that I can't figure out...
searching the posts on this forum, no one else seems to be having the
same
problem...
When I send a new e-mail OR reply to an e-mail from a contact, the email
content is shifted to the bottom of the email and a ton (about 30-50
lines)
of MIME encoding information is imbedded in the top portion of the email.
I have tried changing encoding... to reply in senders format... or
default
to Windows instead of ISO format... all with no resolution.
People complain about the emails they get from me from my Windows Mail
account... but if I send from Outlook Express, from hotmail web
interface,
or my Blackberry... all is good and encoding info is not included.
Seems
to be some Windows Mail setup issue... running on Vista Ultimate x64...
with
latest updates applied as of now...
Any ideas? ...Grant
Here's an example of encoding included... email addresses removed to
prevent
SPAM...
EEKS... what is all the stuff?
More importantly, how do I turn it OFF?!
Your example doesn't look different from what I would normally expect to
see. I sent a test email between two Hotmail accounts, using Windows Live
Mail, and don't see what you describe.
Here are my examples, body content copied from the WLM message pane:
Exhibit B (Hotmail account 'A' to Hotmail account 'B', using WLM
12.0.1606):
| I don't think this is any more a WLM problem than it is a WM problem.

Exhibit B (Hotmail account 'A' to Hotmail account 'B', using MSIE 7):
| Header content in the email body...a Windows Live Mail issue?

(There is a format issue here, where the quoted text is not set off with
quote characters. I need to investigate the Options to see if I can adjust
that to my taste. From the "Norman" signature to the top should have a
quote
indicator.)
Exhibit D (Hotmail 'B' reply to Hotmail 'A', using MSOE 6):
| ----- Original Message -----
| From: Norman Miller
| To: (e-mail address removed)

| Nope. No header lines in the body at all!

This one is just a problem with the inability of the copy function to copy
the RTF display format. In the original I am copying from there is a
solid,
vertical black line from the "Original Message" text to the "Helping
your..." text of the Windows Live Hotmail advert tag.
In neither of the original messages were there any header lines in the
message body. In both of the replies, there were only brief header lines,
quoted from the original message, but no header lines from the reply,
itself.
I am not sure what the source of your problem might be; but I can't
replicate it at all.
BTW, in terms of what is which:
Windows Mail (desktop mail client included with Windows Vista)
Previously:
Windows Live Mail (Was formerly "MSN Hotmail".)
Windows Live Mail desktop (Beta) (The old name for the desktop client,
when
MSN Hotmail was changed to Windows Live Mail.)
Currently:
Windows Live Hotmail (Was formerly "Windows Live Mail".)
Windows Live Mail (Was formerly "Windows Live Mail desktop".)
Even after all the confusion MSFT caused by using similar names for two
very
different products (MS Outlook and MS Outlook Express), they still
couldn't
keep their product names straight.
For matters pertaining to anything "Hotmail", the best newsgroup is still:
'microsoft.public.msn.discussion'
This would include the product MSFT currently calls, "Windows Live
Hotmail".
If you want to discuss matters pertaining to the desktop client, now
called,
"Windows Live Mail", go here:
'microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop'
The newsgroup name retains the old name for the client, which incuded
'desktop', all lower case, but which is now called simply, "Windows Live
Mail".
