I needed to send a new Hotmail (please don't tell me it is Outlook as that can refer to several things) email to someone I had previously received an email from. I had no reason to include the previous email and yet I was told at the top that while I couldn't see it in what I was sending, the previous email would be included. It didn't tell me how not to include it. I just clicked on the x on the right of the message thinking that would get rid of the previous email. I checked my sent folder and it did not. I've never had this happen before.

Your question cannot be answered. To answer a technical question about a very specific email client program, you must provide exactly what email client program you are using. All programs have some form of "About" somewhere in the menu that give you the name of the program and the version of the program. As it is, you are asking a very specific question about a very specific email client program and expecting everyone to play 20-questions with you to try and work it out. 4.17.97.234 (talk) 11:16, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@4.17.97.234: If you want to lecture questioners on not asking questions properly, please go spend time on Stack Overflow instead.

@Vchimpanzee: It sounds like you tried to send that new email by replying to a previous email from that same correspondent. But that's not the way you want to do it. Somewhere completely else in your email client there's a button that says "Compose new" or "New message" or "Send new email" or something like that. That will get you a completely blank email template: no To: line, no Subject: line, no inclusion of previous message. And then your only challenge is to fill in the To: line. You can either start typing your intended recipient's name, and hope that your email client will help you by autocompleting it, or you can use your mouse to copy/paste the recipient's email address from somewhere else — like perhaps that previous email you received from them.

Does this make sense? —scs (talk) 11:36, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is no "email client". I type hotmail.com and the list of emails appears. Or lately on my computer at home all I have to type is "O" and the rest of the URL appears.

But this never happened before. I only sent what actually appeared on the screen. And I reply to a previous email from that person in order to have the address already filled in.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 15:43, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I understand why you're replying, and that having the address filled in is convenient. But I'm afraid that the price you pay for this convenience is that the reply is going to look like a reply, with previous content left in, that gets more and more difficult to completely remove. Modern email systems love to arrange messages in "threads", and they love to play games with a thread's previous content, keeping it there in case you need it but also hiding it in case it's distracting. (It drives me crazy, too.)

So if you really want your new message to look like a new message, your best bet is to compose it as a new message, using hotmail.com's "New message" button, wherever that is. If you start out with a reply, and try to incrementally change it into a new message, you're probably going to lose.

I get that this isn't the way you used to do it. I get that something mysteriously changed, such that the old way doesn't work, and you're forced to learn an unfamiliar, seemingly unnecessary, new way of doing what you thought was the same thing. Welcome to the world of "modern computing". :-( (The people who get paid to write this stuff don't get paid if they don't make changes, the bigger and more sweeping, the better.) —scs (talk) 16:32, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If they are smart, they make say three versions, A, B and C, where a majority of the customers prefers B over A, C over B, and A over C (see Condorcet paradox). Then they can keep rolling out new, improved, versions while only making small cosmetic changes to hide the fact that the customers are caught in a time loop. They can also state, when reverting again to A, that, "by popular demand", they are bringing back the A-features \ C-features.  ​‑‑Lambiam 09:06, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's not happening today. I don't know what was different.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 17:39, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking for any potential help to find secondary sourcing (or even primary sourcing on the behalf of the award giver, just looking for something that isn't the PostPet site) to some awards won by PostPet in the late 90s. I've found sourcing for a few, but I'm struggling with some of the other ones the official site mentions, these being:

• AMD Awards 98, Network Category Source located!
• Millia Online Children's Award (1998)
• Nikkei Excellent Products and Services Awards 1998 (98年日経優秀製品・サービス賞)

If anyone is able to find anything, I would much appreciate it! I've done quite a bit of digging myself but due to age search engines aren't very helpful here. ⋆˚꩜｡ serilly! (he/him) (talk) 22:56, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It seems PostPet did not get a Milia award in 1998. See https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/milia-awards-1145236.html and https://www.wired.com/1998/02/and-the-milia-winners-are/ and note one l in Milia. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 01:25, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In the page Microsoft 365 Business Plans and Pricing, which font is used for "Find the best Microsoft 365 plan for your business" words? I attempted to use developer tools but I cant find anything... Is there someone that can kindly help me? Many, many and many thanks for all you can do!!! 151.71.113.96 (talk) 19:44, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In one of the css's there's a lot of Segoe UI, which looks about right. --Wrongfilter (talk) 21:07, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!!! —151.71.113.96 (talk) 06:54, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've just copied and pasted that text into Word with "Keep Source Formatting". It says the font is "Segoe UI Variable Display". ―Panamitsu (talk) 08:27, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
