Vista - Replying to NG using WLMail?

I have always read and replied to newsgroups using IE, but since I installed
Live Mail, I thought I would give it a try. Using IE, I can log in and post
but not display my real email address. Can this be done using Live Mail? I
keeps asking for a display name and email address, and I don't want my real
email address posted all over the newsgroups (to avoid spam). How do I set
this up in WLMail?

Go to Tools/Accounts then select the NG account that you've entered and hit
the Properties button.
A window should appear and in there it lists your name and email address.
These can be anything as they're not used for authentication.

Fear not Paul.

As you can see from my e-mail address, it is totally bogus, and I am posting using Windows Live Mail, so just make one up that will not likely be anyone's real e-mail address.

You can use the Display Name you have been using (OldRebel2) if you like.

You just fill in the 'Name' and 'E-mail address' fields in the Properties dialog box for the News server account.

i.e. Right-click 'Microsoft Communities' [News server account]->Properties->General [tab]->User Information [section]...

When setting up a new news service account, when WLM asks for the email
address, give it anything that has an "at" symbol, i.e., "@" in it. Best to
use something which looks like an RFC 2822 email address. You can use
'.invalid' as a TLD, in place of .com, .net., .org, etc., or you could use
one of the reserved domains, such as 'example.net'. Don't invent a domain
because you might accidentally choose one already registered. In my case, I
have registered the domain in my email address. If you have a domain, you
may use that, in conjunction with one, or another, DNS trick to invalidate
the email address.

If you already have the account set up, in the account Properties is a place
where the email address is listed: Change it there.
