What's up with that? Everything was fine.

Hi, Koka.

You posted with:
X-Newsreader: Microsoft Windows Mail 6.0.6001.18000

That's the SP1 version of Windows Mail. So what is your complaint? What's
up with that?

Yes but the thing is if I check under "HELP -> About Windows Mail" I get
version 6.0.6000.16386 (vista_rtm.061101-2205) with SP1 installed .........
yet X-Newsreader will display 6.0.6001.18000

...... what a mess ......

Hi, Gyula (Koka?).

I seldom run Windows Mail at all since Windows Live Mail "went gold" in
November, but I fired it up just now to check. My About Windows Mail says
the same as yours:
Version 6.0.6000.16386 (vista_rtm.061101-2205)

Microsoft's numbering schemes don't always make sense to me, but it appears
that you do have the latest version of WM, including SP1. That number is
the original Vista RTM number. WM was in Vista RTM and that version of WM
is on every computer with Vista pre-installed and on every Vista DVD-ROM
that has been sold or is still on vendors' shelves; since it is on the
read-only DVD, its code cannot be changed, except by updates after
installation. My impression - without inside knowledge - is that there is
no continuing development on WM, so its version number might never get
changed. And I've seen nothing to indicate that anything in WM was changed
by SP1.

Are you having a problem, or just wondering whether you have SP1? In
addition to this vista.general newsgroup, there is a WM-specific newsgroup:
microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail. You might want to check with other WM
users there if you have further questions. (There is also a WLM-specific NG
(microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop); its name still includes the
vestigial word "desktop" which was dropped from the program's name nearly a
year ago.)

R.C., no problems just wondering about the version numbering structure
.....and why SP1-Wm stamps outgoing
mail with the right versionnumber whereas it reports another versionnumber
about itself ......
