That should have been clear from my question. Outlook calls the
newsreader (OE in XP and Windows Mail in Vista) via the "go" command menu.
My question was simply can and will Outlook call Windows Live Mail
instead?
Should do - it should call ANY newsreader that's set as the default. If I
set Thunderbird as default newsreader then the Go-News option opens
Thunderbird...(XP and Outlook 2007....)
