The Holiday season is past. We are getting ready to make a new stationery collection. It’s still too early for Valentine’s Day stationery (isn’t it?), \u00a0so we’ve been thinking about another winter collection. But we’re sick of winter already – and maybe you are too.<\/p>\n
So we decided to ask you what you’d like our next stationery collection to be. Would you like a winter collection? Or would you like an early Valentine’s collection? Or would you like something else? We’d really like to know what you think. We’d like to know what you want.<\/p>\n
We want to remind you that scrolling and music are no longer options with Windows 7 (nor in the upcoming Windows 8). For those of you who are still using Outlook Express (XP and earlier) and Windows Mail (Vista) we have approximately 3000 musical & scrolling stationery in our archives – and we will continue to make those available to you.<\/p>\n
From our\u00a0standpoint, it does not make sense to keep making more stationery for email programs which can’t be used in newer versions of Windows. So we’re doing the best we can with what Microsoft gives us to work with. Our current stationery works in a lot of different email programs – Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, IncrediMail, Outlook Express, Windows Mail and older versions of Outlook.<\/p>\n
We wish that Microsoft would have kept Outlook Express or Windows Mail in Windows 7. But they didn’t. The fact is that Windows Live Mail is a very poor email program – we know it and you know. But hang on, because it appears that things are only going to get worse with Windows 8. As of right now (and Windows 8 is in pre-beta testing – so it’s very early) the mail situation will only get worse. As of now, Windows 8 will have two Microsoft choices for email – Windows Live Mail and Metro Mail (a Windows phone app). Neither of these applications are stationery-friendly.<\/p>\n
If we had several hundred thousand dollars to spend, we’d would be developing a stationery-based email program. We’d love to do that – but we can barely afford to keep our doors open now; we simply don’t have the money to fund such a complex project. But we would do it for you in a heartbeat if we had the wherewithal.<\/p>\n
So with all that in mind, please give us your thoughts about what you’d like our next email stationery collection to be. Just leave a comment on this post. Please don’t email us directly though. We would like your posts to be available for others to see. OK?<\/p>\n
We’d love to hear your ideas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
