Might not be relevant, but loads of 16 bit software will run in Win 7 64
bit. Mostly, I think, they won't install from the original CD. In those
cases one has to download the files from the web to get them to the disk.
Then they install fine from the setup.exe. If they won't run properly, in
many cases there will be patches available.

"Re:" in the Subject header means you are replying. There is no
References header in your post so you were not replying to an existing
thread. So to whom did you *think* you were replying? Maybe you
accidentally clicked on the New button instead of the Reply to Group
button.

Well just look at what news reader he's using and it explains itself.
Obviously that's something else that is broken in Windows Live Mail,
and another reason not to use it until it's fixed.

BTW he's responding to Daaave's post that was dated 9/27/2011, the one
that started this thread. At least that's where my news reader linked
it to...

I believe he's responding to my response to Daave since that's the first line of that response.

Well with not having proper headers to link the reply to the proper
post, it seems that Agent just used the subject field... oh well at
least it didn't do something else just as lame and show it as a new
thread.

Looks like he did a cut 'n' paste of that one line, then pasted it in a reply to Daave. Seems like a lot of work to get
around doing it right, even if he is using WLM Latest.
