Gotcha Indrek, thx. I'll have to keep my eye's peeled for that update and
avoid it.
I've got Version 2009.

The problem surfaced a couple of weeks ago.

My WLM is Version 2011 (Build 15.4.3502.0922)., but I can't remember
exactly when the update occurred.

There has been no response to my query about this on the Microsoft WLM
newsgroup, though I did read a lot of negative comments about the new
version. It appears that there is a way to revert to the older 2009
version which I will attempt tomorrow. Stay tuned for the next exciting
installment of this ongoing saga. ;-)

Cheers,

Hi Indrek,
Was this a recent update?
I'm using WLM and not seeing (literally) what you're describing.
I've been using it for a couple years, no changes yet.
Have you posted the question at the MS newsgroup for WLM?
Take care,
Bill Wolcott

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,
