I just installed RC2 and have been checking out Windows Mail. The team is to
be congratulated on getting it nearly right at long last.

1. Junk mail filtering now seems to be working (mostly).

2. The zero size messages don't seem to be occurring.

3. The rotten screen updating seems to have mainly disappeared.

WRT Junk mail filtering. I get a lot of mail from Yahoo! Groups. Tonight 5
messages from one group and 1 from another group falsely got put in Junk
with setting on Low. Other mail from the same group / individuals made it
into the Inbox. I coach Yahoo! Group moderators. Any suggestions on things
to avoid, etc would be much appreciated. Alternatively I could forward an
appropriate sample of the messages to someone with the Junk mail filter team
who promised not to blush:-)

WRT rotten screen updating. There were really two problems before.
Scrolling look horrible and once scrolling was done there were often blank
lines in the middle. Haven't completely gotten my old structure back (see my
note on shooting myself in the foot) BUT the scrolling looks a bit better.
This may be as much a Vista graphics problem as a Windows Mail problem.
However, as a windows developer I stand on my head to get scrolling to look
just so, and WM still isn't just so. Haven't had enough experience yet to
know if the empty line problem is gone.
