@applianceauthority & @davidro1 I have worked for the DoD, and several defense contractors. I wrote the software, they supplied the hardware. I learned a lot from the hardware engineers. The difference between an average component and a DoD spec'd component - may just be in the statistical testing of the product. Some lots are great, some are terrible - same part - same vendor. Naturally, simplicity wins. Ranges with standing pilots will probably last 100 yrs with no maintenance. But there are laws.... Same with fridges. If SubZero has two compressors - with two different thermostats with simple (no circuit boards) controls then it might be a great fridge. Once you introduce complexity - repair becomes expensive - especially once the product gets outside of the 'lab' where you have unlimited resources to test problems. Even for the DoD self testing is too expensive - most manufacture's test their products to have a confidence interval of 99%, thus this is their insurance policy that there will not be a lot of warranty work. From my experience most of the hardware problems are either connectors, contacts (buttons), or heat realated issues. With 400+lb fridges - how easily are they accessible from the front? - without having to pull them out of the enclosure? This alone might be a deciding cost of ownership item. Control panels are another issue. What happens if the dishwasher works - except the 'start' button is worn out, and that button is flow soldered to the circuit board? Bingo - an $500 repair. Lastly spare parts. They cost money to manufacture and stock, spare parts are money sitting on the shelf. I'd venture to guess that a circuit board for a 6 year old dishwasher costs more than to replace the unit. I was attempting to say (in my 'blaming', 'sexist', 'know it all') original post - that it is very hard to claim which mechanical item is best. The design/features might be the 'best' for your requirements, but that doesn't mean the device will last any longer (although you would hope so.) I know you people are not morons, and I don't want to turn this into Consumer Reports - which I detest. We have Viking appliances - which most god's on this forum loathe. But they have performed very well for us(in the six years that we have owned them). Before that we had a Garland range & grill since 1980. We had a really ugly experience with getting the fridge repaired - but that's what happens when you buy the top 2%. Maybe if the manufacturer actually came out and published their unit testing / acceptance requirement, and realistic cost of ownership - then you could compare 'best products'. Otherwise 'best products' is a historical perspective.

I guess Thunderbird is looking for Outlook Express which is no longer around. Have you tried double clicking on the .wab file to see if the windows mail program will open it? Whatever version of windows mail is included with Win 7 should open the file and then you should be able to export it as a csv file. If double clicking doesn't open it try right clicking on it and then click open with and see if some mail program is on the list.

Thanks Ladies...... Cat - I don't think the judge would have really listened to both sides if the claims BM made did not seem so outrageous and DH and I had not been collecting all of the information we did. BM in this case really took it way to far with the false allegations.... she claimed DH's entire family and myself and daughter were all against and abusing SD..... Of course the worse things were pointed against myself. But we had tons of things to counter as well..... pictures, dvd's of family events and vacations we took SD on, and the other things BM left as a paper trail.... letters from the school, daycares and doctor. It was extremely stressful to have to go through a BM trying to take away joint custody from my DH simply because he got married and to see all the lies and allegations.... BUT like the judge said - because DH got on that stand and said he did not want to take custody away from BM - he just wanted to have a peaceful relationship with his daughter and was willing to give BM another shot at trying to be mature - the judge as she put it is giving BM "custody probabtion" and hopefully BM will take her words to heart. We have been so much more peaceful at our home - and just to see SD be more peaceful when we pick her up or when she comes - lets us know that maybe the alienation for now has ceased. I just am hoping the situation remains peaceful for now - and this story may help someone else out in some kind of way.
