My attachments can't be read by people using Outlook Express.

I'm new to Vista.
No-one else (eg without Vista & using Outlook, Outlook Express, etc) is able
to read my attachments created in Windows Mail.

Also, my laptop was supplied with Vista and Norton Anti-Virus as recommended
by the retailer. Is Windows Mail really incompatiale with Norton Anti-Virus?
If so, surely the I.T. shops would know - wouldn't the retailers be kept
informed by the software companies?

Can anyone help? (And judging by the amount of problems posted, there are
hundreds of bugs. Why isn't Microsoft sorting these frustrating and very
basic problems?)
