Windows Live Mail in Win 7

[Ed.]

Does anyone know if there is a way and if so how to have Windows Live Mail
open by default to Newsgroups?

I don't use it for Mail. I just use it for these newsgroups. Every time I
open it, I have to click on Newsgroups. I would like to be able to open
Windows Live Mail and have it directly open to Newsgroups.

I don't seem to be able to fine anything for that in Options.

Thanks,
Ed.

OK, thank you for the reply and I will give that a try.

Windows Live Mail's legacy function from its Outlook Express days as the
Outlook Newsreader is still available.

Simply create a short cut that starts it with the newsreader switch:

"C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Mail\wlmail.exe" /outnews

Thanks for the replies. I went to the public. windows.live.mail.desktop
newsgroup as one of you had suggested and posted. I got replies to add /news
at the end in the target path for the shortcut to Windows Live Mail.

That is working just as I wanted.

Thanks again for that applied and helped,
Ed.
