Just testing to see if I can post to MS Servers.

There's a BIG difference between posting to the microsoft.public.*
newsgroups generally vs posting to them specifically on
msnews.microsoft.com nntp servers. Microsoft has pulled the plug on
their own msnews.microsoft.com servers, but as long as ISPs and Google
Groups continue to support the microsoft.public.* newsgroups, they
won't disappear.

I think that will depend on what cancel notices, if any, MS send out and if
the ISPs observe them.

If this message arrives it means msnews.microsoft.com is still working, 'cos
that's the account in my OE I'm using!

Hi Peter,
Just a note to confirm that I have switched reading all my news groups
through news.e-s.org, and so is where I access this NG. Seems to be
working normal.

regards,
