Windows 7 - Windows Live Mail Command Line Parameters

Asked By Doug

07-Nov-09 02:15 AM

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

Afaik, not available from Microsoft.
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

and currently the web interface search is even more broken,
assuming this has not been flushed already.

From a previous answer to this question:

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

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 :




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

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