Windows Live Mail Beta Not So Clever
I've been using Live Mail in place of Hotmail for a couple of months now, but there's one really annoying bug that's made me go back to good ol' Hotmail: Try to reply all and invariably Live Mail will send it to the first and last person on the recipient list only.
Looks to me like something pretty basic such as parsing the semi-colons from the To field has been broken at some point. So I tried to find a way to report this bug. Filled in the feedback form and heard nothing back from MSN. Shame, since Live Mail is an interesting attempt at making the most of RPC and DHTML (oops, AJAX and Web 2.0) and is well thought out, but when basic functions of a mail service - such as delivering to the intended address - is messed up and feedback goes unanswered you have a Beta that fails user testing.
I wonder when they'll get it working properly?
