I'll add that WLM does appear to honor the same commands that WM and OE
accepted to start in news only mode (/outnews and /newsonly) however, the
interface has some problems in that it will start with mail disabled, but
show you the contents of your default mail Inbox folder when it starts; you
can manipulate the messages, but have no access to other mail folders. If
you select a newsgroup folder, this default Inbox vanishes, never to be seen
again until WLM is restarted. I've reported this and am waiting from
feedback from the WLM folks.
