Starting in Newsgroup Instead of Mail

01-26-2008

I only use WLM for newsgroups and occasional Email since I use Outlook and
Gmail primarily.

How can I make WLM start with my newsgroups open. I know there is a way to
edit a shortcut to get it to do this but don't remember how.

If you want to open newsgroups when you start WLMail, you can create a
shortcut similar to:
"C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Mail\wlmail.exe" /news
or
"C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Mail\wlmail.exe"
/newsurl:news:microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop
Thanks to Robert Aldwinckle for these tips.

Sadly, it appears nobody voted for it so it was purged sometime.
No longer in either msnews nor even in the Communities archive.

Fortunately, Google Groups retained it.
