Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Mail / May 2008A question about macros
Hello All! I am still trying to make a decision about going to Vista. Is there any macro capability in Windows Mail? The absence of macros in Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in Windows XP is a pain. I did not see the word "macro" in the downloaded messages.

I've been looking through its menus for months for various reasons, and don't remember seeing any reference to macros. What do you want to use the macros for? They might have some ability that they decided to call something else. robertmiles@bellsouthNOSPAM.net wrote on Mon, 5 May 2008 16:30:34 -0500: >> Hello All! >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> is a pain.

There are two things I'd like to do: program a single keystroke or button to set up printing in the way that I want it and also program something that would let me minimize the Mail window while leaving any other windows. In Windows XP, you can minimize all windows but a single one has to be minimized by mousing to the "-" sign on the top bar.

In Vista, most windows come with an _ box near the top right corner, which you can click to minimize that window. Setting a single keystroke to print a message is harder; I haven't found a way to do it yet, but I haven't found a real need to do this. There are no macros in WinMail. steve > Hello All! > > I am still trying to make a decision about going to Vista. Is there any > macro capability in Windows Mail?

SignatureJames Silverton Potomac, Maryland E-mail, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not Which email program are you using now that has macros? Just curious. Or did you mean message rules? SignatureVista Home Premium 32 SP1 http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview > Steve wrote on Tue, 6 May 2008 06:01:17 -0400: > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Thanks!

I don't presently have one with macros but I'd certainly like one! It's a little OT but I'd also like to have a web browser that allowed macros. Internet Explorer is a pain when you want to print a page and the defaults are unsuitable.
