Default Windows Live Mail

Mine looks like that if I press CTRL+H, but then I don't see anything except
threads I've replied to or created.
Oh well, mine works fine. I was just curious what I could do to make it just
a bit different.

Hi, Ivan.

As the others said, you were not "forced" to use WLM.

To make the Unread messages more recognizable in the Message List,
create
a News Rule:
Tools | Message Rules | News | New:
For all messages
Highlight it with Default


The only problem I see with this is that even after the post is read, it
remains whatever color you picked. If it would change to (my) default of
black after I read it, that would be nice. I set the color to blue in the
rule, and new posts show up as blue, but even after reading them, they're
still blue. If yours works any differently, I'd like to know how you did
it.
BTW, I have no trouble differentiating between read and unread with my
default color. I don't think it's a "bug" per se, just a feature that a
lot of people don't seem to like too much :-)

That's what I use, but others here prefer to highlight it with Black -
or
Green or whatever looks best to you.

I suspect that very few of us use WLM as it arrives "out of the box".
But, just like OE (and Windows Mail in Vista) before it, WLM is highly
customizable. The WLM Team (the same one that gave us the pale pastel
color scheme) also hid the Menu Bar by default. To see it momentarily,
just press Alt; to toggle it on/off, press Alt+M, M.

news Since using windows 7 I have been forced to download and use Windows
Live Mail as an alternative to Outlook Express, after a lot of
tinkering
around I've managed to get it somewhere near as usable as my original
Mail/News client.. however when using 'News' the headers are now no
longer in bold type to let me know that there are 'new unread' messages
still in the unexpanded thread, also annoyingly the name of the author
of the original topic or replies no longer appear in the 'from' column,
and try as I might I can't find a way of activating this feature.. if
these two problems are solvable I would be more than appreciative TIA
Ivan.
