Cannot post to this newsgroup with Windows Live Mail

When I try to post to this newsgroup, or any group on
msnews.microsoft.com from Windows Live Mail, I get a popup that reads
"The message could not be sent. No sender was specified. Please check
your news account configuration." I click the "ok" button and the
message is sitting there waiting for me to try again.

I checked my settings and they're just as they should be. I'm not
required to log in so that area is blank. The port settings are the
default. The news group came loaded on WLM but my setting matched my
other news server settings.

I have no problems with other servers, verizon.net and motzarella.org,
on WLM. I also had aioe.org which requires no log on, like this server,
and was able to post using it (I dropped only because it banned a
newsgroup I like that has a funky name). I posted to
microsoft.public.test using this news reader (MesNews) and it came
through fine.

I didn't really want to install another newsreader and I know this
group can be accessed through a browser on the Microsoft site but I
don't like using a browser for newsgroups.

I have XP Pro SP2. My antivirus is Comodo and my antispywares are
Adaware 2007, SuperAntiSpyware, and Spybot Search & Destroy. I use the
Windows Firewall only.
