Well, after lots of whining and complaining, and tons of trial and error, I
seem to have settled on using WLM for now. One of the things that I do not
like about WLM is that it doesn’t use and apply the ">" attribute marks when
quoting prior text.

But, I just found a workaround for that called WLM QuoteFix. I found it
here:

http://www.dusko-lolic.from.hr/wlmquote/

I tried downloading and installing the "compiled" version as shown on the
website and that worked easily. Then, I spent a long time trying to get the
"edit" version to work in a way that I could customize the signature line a
little. That finally worked too.

And, for those who may be thinking of switching to, or trying, Windows Live
Mail, Microsoft has announced that it will be “ending support” for WLM on
January 17, 2017. It will still work after that, but downloading the WLM
software won’t be available after that. And, others here have pointed out
that the trick for now is to download the wlsetup-all.exe file now (and save
it) – before January 17, 2017. Also, the file for the web-based
installation of WLM will not work after January 17, 2017. So, be sure to
get the specific wlsetup-all.exe file now.

I had trouble finding exactly where to download the wlsetup-all.exe file,
but someone elsewhere provided the direct link for the download shown
below.

Direct download to Microsoft server for the WLM12 installer executable file:

The same date as the expiration date on the Cracker Jacks I bought for
Halloween :-)
