Windows Live Mail Command Line Parameters

Would someone please point me to a comprehensive list of the command line
parameters that can be used in shortcuts after:
"C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Mail\wlmail.exe"
Examples:
/mail
/news
/mailurl:%1
but I feel there must be a whole lot more and no amount of googling has
revealed them.

You've already posted the two that most people use
/mail
/news

If Outlook is installed and one wishes to use the WLM included Mail Icon(lower left of folder pane) when in news mode to open
Outlook
/outnews


Note: /mailurl:%1 performs the same as /mail or not using a command line parameter

"Googling" isn't as reliable as it used to be
and currently the web interface search is even more broken,
assuming this hasn't been flushed already.


From a previous reply to

From a previous answer to this question:

<paste>
<cmd_output OS="XPsp3">
F:\Program Files\Windows Live\Mail>findstr /m /i ".n.e.w.s.u.r.l" *
mailimp.dll
msmail.dll
smapi.dll
</cmd_output>

Then in Notepad msmail.dll and doing an F3 search for
n e w s u r l find this interesting list:

/ V C a r d / c o n t a c t : / g r o u p : / m a i l u r l : / n e w s u r l :
/ c a l e n d a r u r l : / e m l : / n w s : / r e p l y e m l : / r e p l y a l l e m l :
/ f o r w a r d e m l : / r e p l y n w s : / r e p l y a l l n w s : / f o r w a r d n w s :
/ o p e n : / r e a d - o n l y :


</paste2>


BTW that thread had a web interface Message-ID in it
so I was able to check for its &tid= explicitly. It's gone.

Oh but apparently I have maligned Google Groups unjustly.
It does have that thread.

Robert, that's the information I had remembered seeing and then lost. Thanks
for finding it.
