Default Minimize Outlook Express to the System Tray

One of the features I've always wanted to see in Outlook Express was the
ability to "minimize to tray", just like you can with Microsoft Outlook.
However, until Microsoft implements this feature (if they ever do), I've
decided to take measures into my own hands.

The problem: Can't minimize Outlook Express to the system notification area.
The solution: Heck, why don't I just code a program that lets me do just
what I need to do.

You can get it for both Outlook Express and Windows Mail (for Windows Vista)
at:

Enjoy! :-)

(NOTE: It does have a known issue when being run on drives in which the
Program Files directory is not located on C:\ that the "New Mail Message"
menu item will throw an error. This will be fixed with the next release.)
