AO,
Thanks for that bit of info.....much appreciated.....
Hellsbrink.......just about summates matters nicely.....
The issue with BT is the way the message was conveyed, the offer to use a browser optimised ( their words ) for BT / Yahell / IE8....which even I know to avoid....and the little matter of having no net access once they pull the plug as it where....the last little detail tends to focus the mind somewhat.
Hence my query....as with anything I don't understand or am unsure of I ask questions from a variety of sources.....same principle as maintaining aircraft applies here.....and thus find out more.....and learn.
BEagles experience with Livemail was one of many such I have read about in the criticisms of Win7 and its always interesting to hear about peoples problems directly rather than from a review hence another piece of the jigsaw for me, albeit by accident rather than design..but very relevant and hence welcome.
