It then makes me want to repost and I know you all would rather we stay put on the same post. If you waste your time using Microsoft's newsgroup portal, you get what you deserve. Newsreaders always do a better job with newsgroups than web portals. If you have access to outside NNTP servers, use Outlook Express to connect to msnews.microsoft.com. Otherwise, use Google Groups, which sorts threads by most recent activity. It's also easy to search for your own posts using Google Groups search. And posting via Google doesn't require #@$% Passport sign-in. And, yes, remain in the same thread. Most of the people answering your questions don't use the Microsoft newsgroup portal, so they have no problem seeing your thread (if they want to). Create too many threads, and you *REDUCE* the likelihood anyone will respond. Also, have patience. |

Outlook doesn't read newsgroups. But there's an icon on one of the toolbars (or
can be added to one of the toolbars) that points at newsgroups. It starts up Outlook Express. So yes, you can have both OE and Outlook running. You may not to set up your email account in OE, though. Else you may have trouble know where your messages are. Luke wrote: Thanks Dave, I have Outlook & I wonder if I can use them both. I'll read the links you provided.
