Jonathan Kay, MessengerGeek 
Merci à vous Jonathan Kay
Je vous en prie 🙂
Isn’t MSN dead?
Yes and no. The Microsoft service is gone but there are two private third party options available (see the Escargot and OMessenger buttons above).
Thanks. I’d always thought those as other softwares which are trying to imitate WLM. After your reply I went into it and played around WLM, MP!L like old days.
Could not install, there is no possibility to attach a snapshot of the error message 😦
Thanks for letting me know Yoram. I sent you an email so we can figure it out.
Hi Jonathan,
Right, with your e-mail I can attach files ð
Here they are:
Bonsoir ,
C’est dommage je suis Française et je ne sais pas lire votre mail en Anglais, je possède Windows Live Mail 2012 et je ne peut pas traduire votre mail en Français.
Bonne soirée à vous
Traduction en français.
En outre, QTranslate peut être utilisé pour mettre en surbrillance le texte dans Live Mail 2012 et le traduire à la demande.
Hi Yoram. I never got anything I’m afraid. If you’re still experiencing this, could you email it to fromyoram@jonathankay.com? Thanks!
so happy for you coming back!!! Happy New Year 2021!!!
