Default Microsoft strikes again

i too fell into the MS trap and downloaded in the middle of a load of
updates WLM 2011

what an absolute load of tosh

i too wanted out of the sad new world and found that i could restore my pc
to before the dreaded leech came in. I now have the previous WLM running
with all my newsgroups happy bunnies again. It did play havoc with Norton
firewall but they soon sorted me out.

and breathe

The only alternative is to go through another browser like Firefox. I've
got Windows 7 on my laptop and hate trying to go through the Live mail to
get to the newsgroups. There are some stand-alones that you can access,
but I haven't checked them out myself yet.

I have used Windows Live Mail for a while and it handled binary newsgroups
reasonably well. i.e. click on a message and the message and any contained
picture would pop up.

Now the geniuses at Microsoft have come up with an "improved" version of
WLM. This requires me to double click on a message to bring up a
thumbnail image and I then have to double click on the thumbnail to bring
up Windows Photo Viewer so that I can actually see the image properly.
After that, unless I want myriad sessions of WPV running, I have to close
the viewer and close the thumbnail pane to begin the whole rigmarole
once more for the next image. Mumble, chunter, grumble......

There does not seem to be an easy way to revert to the previous version
of WLM

Am I being ultra-dense, or is there an alternative?

Cheers,

Indrek Aavisto
