I used to be able to insert an item such as an email message or draft by selecting Insert, Item and then selecting the item. This is no longer an option that I can tell? How can I do this with Vista mail?

In the composition window click Insert. You have to actually have started composing a message. Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM Do not send mail.

I think Sbrown360 is trying to insert one older e-mail message as an attachment to a new e-mail message. Clearly, one can attach files by selecting "Insert" then "File Attachment". However, it does not seem possible to insert an "Item", which in Outlook, means inserting an e-mail from your Inbox, Drafts, Message Folders, etc. I also would like to know if this is possible.

If you want to attach a file to a message, you can drag it overtop the new message window and that will attach it. You can also drag a message from a folder to attach it. steve "SCal"

Steve, this worked perfectly, thank you! Now if you can only locate my question about EASILY moving messages contained in Outlook PST files on Computer-A into Windows Mail on Computer-B...hopefully without installing temporary copies of Outlook onto Computer-B, etc. Thanks again.

Just a thought. On computer A - Open Outlook Express and select import from the File menu. Import from Outlook to Outlook Express. Then move the OE data files containing the messages to Computer B, I'm making the assumption here that Vista Mail and Outlook Express use the same mail format, I could well be wrong but I has to be worth a try.

That should work. If he uses OE in XP to import from Outlook then he can move the OE dbx files to the new machine and then import them into WinMail. steve "Nick Mason"
