When you attempt to set up a http account (the New account options are the
same as XP) you get a page that leads to a page that leads to a page thet
tries to make you sign up to a unrelated product to Vista (something called
Windows Live - this is immoral - if they made it mandatory, rather than
tricking people, it would be illegal under Australian law).
Now Winmail is OE V7 (though it's version is 1 as a program and 6, as vista
is Win NT 6, as its official ver number).
