Windows live mail with windows 7

My XP computer has Windows live mail version 2009. Top line has file
edit view go tools actions help.
My other computer - windows 7 - has Windows live mail version 2011 and I
can't find anyway of displaying these menu items on it. Do they no longer
exist with the program?

They exist, but are hidden by default. I'm wondering if your Alt key
will pop the WLM menu into place? I think it will.

Thanks, but it doesn't. It simply gives a row of numbers to select emails
from inbox rather than just selecting from the subject/sender line..

Got it! Alt plus M gives option to show or hide menu bar. All's well.

Super cool. Many thanks.
Not as cool as I thought. Latest vesion of WLM does not have a menu bar at
all. It has been replaced with a particularly dopey ribbon thingey.

I have definitely decided to go with Thunderbird especially since I like
new groups. You can keep Windows Dead Mail.

My initial reaction to the MS "ribbon" concept was, WTF is this?

After using it for awhile in MS Office 2010 and WLM 2011, I am now
comfortable with it and see it as a very useful and flexible format.

The ribbon in WLM 2011 isn't the deal-breaker for me. The absolute failure
to quote properly in Usenet posts is the thing. You are thoughtful enough
to put a break-line before your post, but others are not. I don't think one
should be bothered with having to do that, or having to read posts from
someone who isn't as conscientious. That one major gaff in the program
marks it as "broken" for me.

A while back I noticed a few people talking about how the "new" WLM was a
mess. I accidentally loaded it on a laptop we only use for watching moving
onto our TV. I was letting it do the updates and when I saw it was doing the
WLM 2011 I figured it was ok since I do not use it for Usenet anyway. So now
that it is there, and I am trying it I don't see what the problem is??? It
seems so far to be very strait forward to me.

Seriously? Its problems have been mentioned so many times that people
must be bored to read about them. You can start with the fact that
your text and the text from "Fred" are indistinguishable from each
other.

Also, (I didn't snip it so you could see it), the sig delimiter is
broken. The "dash dash space" needs to be on a line by themselves in
order to be recognized as a proper sig delimiter.

I went back and checked the WLM 2011 again and it has a button to insert a

gotten so used to using Word 07 at School. Will probably go ahead and change
this one to the 2011 version too.

fill the boredom or something. <shrug>

+1 Alex!

The Usenet seems to be heavily populated with ABMers (anybody but Microsoft)
like Alias et al.

I also like the"ribbon" configuration that MS is using. It provides a nice
continuity between Office 2010 and WLM 2011.

As for the lack of the >> set aside function, I find it only a mild
irritant, certainly not worth condemning the entire WLM 2011 email client.
My personal use of Usenet is probably 5 % -- the other 95% being with
general email functions. I loved Outlook Express and had used it for 10+
years as my main email client. I find WLM 2011 to be an improvement over
OE. Takes a while to get used to its differences from OE but once over that
hump, its smooth sailing.

Looks fine on my computer. Sorry if you have a problem. Perhaps you should
try WLM 2011.
