Perhaps my use of "supported" is the problem here. OE is not being improved
upon, has no updates planned, is not "supported."
Without regard to the level of support that may or may not exist, Outlook
Express is entirely independent of Internet Explorer. OE6 works along side
IE8 as well as it has ever worked, which was the OP's concern.
Since we all know there are no more Service Packs planned for XP, then it
follows that support has stopped, or at the very least is an a very steep
ramp downward.
The point I was making is that if the OP wants to move forward (perhaps that
is a misnomer the same as "supported") then he will need to get Windows Live
Mail because there is no new version of Outlook Express. Personally, I'd not
recommend such a move.
