No. In the **Newsgroups** line of the header. See above -- if you have a
Newsgroups Line -- ALL Headers not required or desired.

[No, I'm not shouting at you -- just emphasizing -- as I would vocally.]

In OE I can simply sweep across the names of the newsgroups with the left
button of the mouse depressed -- in YOUR open message ---- thereby
HIGHLIGHTING them and then RIGHT COPY with the mouse and PASTE wherever I
choose.

I can't do that in WLM.

CAPABILITY LOST in a supposed UPGRADE to WLM.

UNSAT.

Au contraire, I do it all the time.

It's much quicker and more flexible than trying to fumble through arcane
keystrokes. PLUS I can sit further away from the screen with a libation
and/or young lovely cuddled in the other hand from the plastic MOUSE.

This is 2008 -- not 1974.

We use the MOUSE with GUI's not ancient keystrokes -- and could quite easily
in the late, lamented Outlook Express.

Oh Those Halcyon Days With A Superb Piece Of Software -- OUTLOOK EXPRESS.

I understand some VERY TALENTED people DEVELOPED it.

WLM is a pale imitation and needs a rewrite.

Let's hope we get it in SP1 -- and don't have to wait for SP2.

You are still not being clear about what *context* we should interpret
"above" in. However, now I guess that you mean you have an open
message window?

Clearer description rather than emphasis would communicate better... ; ]

Well, again, I am in a composition window, which is the only scenario
that I can envision needing such a "feature" and as I explained I can
copy it just fine, using either the mouse or the keyboard.

You still haven't explained *why* you use such a feature.
The only time I need to copy and paste is when I am editing
and when I am editing I use my keyboard as well as my mouse.

I use both--whichever is more convenient.
Usually I only find the mouse useful for coarse movement
and the keyboard more convenient for finer operations,
including text selection and copying and pasting.

SP1? You don't get functionality changes in a service pack,
especially changes to a UI. You have to wait for the next release... <eg>

You'll see that you can Copy and Paste the Subject Line with the mouse --
but not the Newsgroup Line.

Now in OE. First looking at this in the Preview pane, with the Preview pane
header. Newsgroup names are not copyable there either. I hardly ever open
newsgroup messages in their own windows. And you still haven't explained
*why* you need this supposed feature.

Do you mean these "newsgroup addresses"?

microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress,microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

I just clicked on the "Reply Group" button, and got a message compose
window. The Newsgroups are listed in the header fields (I have my View set
to "View all headers"). It is just a "copy and paste" to get from the
address field to the message field.

Seems to be the same in MS Outlook Express as in Windows Live Mail. Not sure
where you are unable to copy from in MS Outlook Express. In my copy, the
header bar shows two lines. First line has, "From:" and "To:" in bold,
followed by the relevant information. Second line has, "Subject:" in bold,
followed by the relevant information. None of it can be copied.

However, when I click on the "Reply to Group" button, I get a message
compose window, same as in Windows Live Mail. And I can copy from the
"Newsgroups:" address field, same as in Windows Live Mail. I did not test
this while composing the reply in Windows Live Mail; but, in both programs,
whether "View" is set to "All headers", or not, the "Newsgroups:" field is
available, and the newsgroups in the field can be copied, and pasted. Thus:

microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress,microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

I don't see any difference in the operation of MS Outlook Express and
Windows Live Mail in this regard.

Unthreaded duplicate? How are you doing that?

Are you editing in the Outbox by any chance?
FYI you need to set Work Offline before trying that;
otherwise the copy in the Outbox goes out before
your revision. However, AFAIK that would still
show a References: header...; so, this is almost a sign
that you reposted a message from your Sent Items?

Please don't do that. This thread cross-posted and all
is getting complicated enough. ; )
