WLMail, TBird and Gravity are free. Agent isn't. There are others. All you
need is Google.

Aha, there's the rub. No supposedly you can't install OE on win7. You can
however use livemail and I think winmail, both searchable for download; I'm
pretty sure I read one of them comes with win7 so check that first!

Thank you for the information.

I'm now trying out and sending this message from Thunderbird. Hopefully
this works as OE.
