Hey, as some people might have the ability to get screen shots of bugs, is
it ok to post them in here attached to a message about this bug? I think
maybe no as it's not like a binary group, but I'm just curious. I think if
there was a way to show off screen shots of a bug, it'd be nice to know
where to do this.

For me personally I have encountered a visual bug in Windows Mail that I
took a screen shot of and I'd like to share it. So far I've encountered 2
pretty serious bugs in Windows Mail. In my opinion they are serious.
 
The generally accepted behavior is to upload the screenshot to a web server
and post a link; do not attach it to a post.
 
Yeh that's the best practice. You can only upload something up to about 75kb
anyway here to save server space - but if you want to discuss an issue then
post a link to a screenshot on a server here. If you want to report it as a
bug - report it as a bug FIRST so that nobody else can steal it ;o)

I reported it as a bug. I used the reporting tool and sent the screenshot as
well.

I actually reported 3 bugs already one after another. however being the
Vista isn't from MS directly I don't like doing it that way, but would
rather be offical. Which is why I asked earlier in a previous post what info
gets sent. Allthough that's just being curious as well.

I do wish it was easy to beta for them.
 
There is a newsgroup on this server for Vista Windows Mail issues. I'm
adding it to this message.

The server will only take images of about 80 Kbytes as previously indicated,
but small images for clarification are not a problem.

What were the bugs you found?
