I have no idea why you have had problems with Outlook under W7 (and later 
versions).  I've used it
with every version of Windows except 8.x: I suspect you may not have allowed 
upgrades to happen when
required, as I know many people do not.

Can't speak for anyone else, but AFAIK Outlook is only available as part of 
Micro$oft Office; the
latest version of which doesn't work with Windoze7. 
Down-level versions that do work with Windoze7 are not available and are not 
supported.

After the hell I went through with Windoze10, I'm not inclined to pay Micro$oft 
for software that I
have to learn all over again, especially when experience tells me that even if 
I could get it to
work, it won't let me do things the way I want to do them.

I've been using the mail client from Netscape and its descendants (aka
Thunderbird) since 1994. Thunderbird works just fine.

The problems are all with the email providers, not with the software I use to 
send & receive email.

Right now, Yahoo is the least problematic email provider I can use with PDML. I 
would use it
exclusively if I could figure how out to get it to echo my own submissions to 
the list back to my
Yahoo inbox so messages would thread properly.

And *NOT* Gmail either.

Google is already far too intrusive. I'd ditch Google and Google+ in a 
heartbeat if could find a way
to do it without losing YouTube. I might as well sell my soul to fakebook and 
be done with it.
