MS or anyone else is quite free to read my email, it's pretty boring
stuff, mostly because I'm a pretty boring type of person, but even if
that were not the case everyone knows confidential information should
not be sent via email.

Not everyone!
Some send their private information encrypted
with PGP or GnuPG.

Well yes, encryption is an option if you must transmit sensitive
information by email.

i think he means the windows live mail software. not the web based
access point.

David, kindly please elaborate. I don't need to *access* WLM via a browser
and thought it is an independent application which I open by a WLM shortcut.
My two (2) browser applications (can) remain closed while using WLM.

But not to worry, an honest mistake, and all replies help to educate anyway.

while WLM maybe be an actual email client rather than a website you
access using IE, consider how WLM is going to render your HTML emails...
it's basically a forgone conclusion that they will use the same HTML
rendering engine as IE (it's actually a re-usable component that any
software developer can use) to render HTML content in your emails...

which means it will be more or less the same as using IE...

I send, receive and read in plain text in both mail and news. If I wish to
read e-mail in HTML I go to View...

Depends on how you configure WLM.
