Default "Notify me of replies" not working

Woohoo!! See you at the forum, Stefan. Thanks!

Usenet is simply a system for internet discussion groups (= newsgroups); for
more, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet.

Even after Microsoft has shut down their news server msnews.microsoft.public, it
will be possible to continue posting there (for example via a server such as
news.eternal-september.org if you are using a newsreader such as Outlook Express
or Windows Mail), but as many people won't be aware of this, the groups will
eventually "die." At Microsoft's web site, you will be directed to the forum, of
course.

Many MVPs, including myself, are already answering questions in the new forums.

I'm praying they're as helpful and easy to use as this newsgroup. What is
Usenet? Do you recommend Usenet over the new forum? Will you wonderful MVPs
still provide answers at the new forum?

Actually, the notifications haven't been working for quite some time. :-(

For what it's worth, you may have noticed that Microsoft are closing these
newsgroups on June 1 (unfortunately). While the newsgroups will live on (but
with less traffic) on Usenet, there are new Microsoft-hosted forums at
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...ory/officeword.

For several months now, even though I check "Notify me of replies" when I
post a question, I'm not receiving 3-mail notifications in my Hotmail
account. And nothing is in the Junk folder either. Is this happening to
anyone else and is there a fix? I love these newsgroups but it is very
difficult in the busy ones like this one to find answers that might be
posted
weeks later than the original request.

Thanks in advance.

Arlene
