Upon starting Windows Mail (before a Send/Recv is initiated) I get
immediately as many as a dozen blank messages...no sender; no addressee and no text. All I see displayed is an unopened envelope icon. Is this a bug or a bad installation? |

It's a bug, called "ghost messages" and has been reported many times. It
may or may not be fixed before final release but until then, highlight them and press the Del key. -- Jim Pickering, MVP, Windows Mail Apps https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/pr...8-1171988A62D6 Please deliver feedback to the newsgroup, so that others can be helped.

I get these, in both Vista and XP - I think they are some kinda spam.
I got them once in awhile before I ever put Vista on the machine. -- BChat "Howard Kelley" wrote in message ...

the time before now. -- Take Care, Will "Howard Kelley" wrote in message ...
