Hello NG,

Does anybody know the commandline switches
that can be used to start Windows Mail on Vista?
I can't find any swithces of Windwos Mail in
the help...

The usual switches -? /? -h /h does not work :-(

Open the Command Prompt and type in:

"C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe"

C:\>telnet -?

telnet [-a][-e escape char][-f log file][-l user][-t term][host [port]]
-a Attempt automatic logon. Same as -l option except uses
the currently logged on user's name.
-e Escape character to enter telnet client prompt.
-f File name for client side logging
-l Specifies the user name to log in with on the remote system.
Requires that the remote system support the TELNET ENVIRON option.
-t Specifies terminal type.
Supported term types are vt100, vt52, ansi and vtnt only.

to connect to.

Command Line Options for Outlook Express (which also work for Windows Mail)

But as for switches, such as would be displayed when adding a /h or /? to
the command, all that will do from a command prompt is open the Mail client.
To open mail with a command line option, you would normally enter it on the
Start/Run line.
