Good news!! Still a bit strange. I myself have no experience in so far.
But Helmut Rohrbeck (MVP) in the German Vista-NG had reported that after
applying the said update WinMail did nit
I'll contact him in the NG.

Could be. I'm running the German version of Vista Business 32 with SP2
Beta.

Follow-up:
Helmut Rohrbeck has reported that he got it fixed.
The problem had been OE-Quotefix. After enabling the option "Ignore HTML
Messages" this could be fixed too and now he is happily running WinMail
with OE-Quotefix under Win7 RC. ;-) ;-)

I seriously hope that this possibility will not be destroyed ...
