Problems with replying&forwarding mails in newsgroup

Guys, I've got a problem with replying and forwarding mails in newsgroup of
windows live mail.

I found that replying/forwarding in newsgroup will call the application OE,
and also the mail account that I set for OE is used, not what I set for WLM.
I have to set the accounts for OE once again.

So now I have to add OE component again in order to be able to reply/forward
in newsgroup, and it sends mails out not even with my accounts in Windows
live mail!

Any ideas? Is it a bug or just something that is designed like this? If the
answer is the latter one, I think this is little ridiculous: Doesn't
develops WLM just for replacing
OE?

Any suggestions? Thanks for all.

How long has WLM been installed?
How long have you had the problem?

works ok here,

what is the default mail client set to

I'm guessing that if it's set to OE then WLMail is doing the right thing,
sending mail via your default (designated) email client.

Re: Problems with replying&forwarding mails in newsgroup

Like OE, WLM uses the default mail program to send mail from newsgroups,
which is not necessarily itself.

Check the following

- WLM: Tools, Options, General
- IE: Tools, Internet Options, Programs
- Also, in Windows XP: Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Set Program
Access and Defaults, Custom, Email and select WLM.

Re: Problems with replying&forwarding mails in newsgroup

I've switched to WLM for quite a long time, but it was the first time
several days before that I used "forward/reply" in newsgourp of WLM and then
I encountered the issue.

Re: Problems with replying&forwarding mails in newsgroup

Thanks for your advice, and thanks for Urbane as well

I cannot rememeber if I've set WLM as the default client. I'll try your
suggestions when I get back home.

Re: Problems with replying&forwarding mails in newsgroup

That's exactly my problem. I've left OE as my default mail client. I changed
it and it's ok now.

Thanks in advance.
