windows mail

[needhelp]

this is the first time i am using windows mail. in all earlier versions like
outlook / express etc, i know this option where you can use word as default
editor for composing all new mail messages. this ensures that we can format /
allign / bullet etc just like in word. However, this windows mail thing is
not showing me this option of using word as default editor for composing all
new messages / replies. please suggest / advise.

If you want Word as e-mail editor you need a version of Outlook.prior to
version 2007 (with the corresponding Word version) which provided the option
to use Word as editor. Neither Outlook Express nor Windows Mail offer the
option to use Word as editor. Outlook 2007 has its own Word-like editor.

As Word document format and html e-mail format are entirely different from
one another, when used as editor Word essentially displayed the web view,
which you can select from Word, should you wish to use Word to prepare
e-mails - and you should be able to send mail created from Word using
Windows Mail, if Windows Mail is the default e-mail application in Windows -
though some users have found it problematical.

If you want an e-mail to look like a Word document then you should send it
as an attachment - preferably in PDF format.
