Just got an email from Michele Scotellaro a Live.com fan who has been kind enough to tell me about a post by Andre Da Costa in which he tells us how he got a MSN Research e-mail this yesterday morning asking him if he would like to take a survey, well Andre Da Costa took the survey and in return got to see some some screenshots of what Windows Live Mail M8 or beyond could possibly look like, now I know it’s not the first time screenshots like this have appeared on the web but many of you still have seen these screenshots so I thought I would tell you about them:

Here’s the email as recieved by Andre Da Costa:
