Question about viewing newsgroups using Outlook
Hi
I hope this is the correct place for this question. I have just started using Outlook to download newsgroup replies. I find the only way to find the correct newsgroup to post a message, is firstly find the group via IE, then setup using Outlook. Via IE, you can go to the 'top of the tree' of newsgroups and select the correct place to post your message eg. http://support.microsoft.com/newsgro...=microsoft.pub lic.windowsme.software&SLCID=US&ICP=GSS3&sd=GN&id= fh;EN-GB;newsgwinme. Is there anyway this can be setup in Outlook, so that I can scroll through and make the right choice? I noticed that you can right click the group then select Newsgroup, but it's alot more confusing and difficult compared to IE. I look forward to hearing back. Thank you. |

Click on the 'msnews.microsoft.com' folder (in the LH pane) and you will see
your current 'selection' of newsgroups in the RH pane. To add more, click 'Newsgroups...' button then select and 'subscribe' to any/all you want. - there's plenty there g HTH Mart "Julia" wrote in message ...

PS.. Not too sure if I understood your question properly but this note *may*
help clarify things:- Set up a Mail account in OE for "msnews.microsoft.com" and then select whatever NG' you want e.g. this one is 'microsoft.public.windowsme.general'.
