From: D. Spencer Hines on 4 Jul 2008 09:06 A decidedly dumb thing to do. Just use the useful Import function in WLM in order to keep your Sent OE messages. You can also keep both OE and WLM installed on your system -- which is what I'm currently doing.... A belt and suspenders approach -- for the time being. <g> DSH --------------------------------------------------------------- "Rob1960" <Rob1960(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:DDCB83C4-DCBA-4415-8DF1-BE9261885808(a)microsoft.com... > Where are the root or registry files for WLM?

From: D. Spencer Hines on 4 Jul 2008 10:55 No. Why use VISTA?

No. But you can back-up & import your OE data into Windows Mail, the default Mail Client in Vista. (Yes, the names are confusing, aren't they?) Rob1960 wrote: > My new system is Vista.
