I definitely agree that using Outlook Express or Windows
Mail to read and reply to newsgroup messages is the
best way by far.

But...err....uhh...this is not Usenet...Microsoft Newsgroups
originate on a Microsoft server.



Using Outlook Express or Windows mail you can ONLY get Microsoft Newsgroups.

Using Thunderbird or other independent email clients, you can get ALL
Usenet groups, including Microsoft groups (depending on your internet
provider of course).

Hi Erika,

Yes, you can access Usenet from
Outlook Express and Windows Mail.
You just have to set up an account with
the appropriate server. Several options
below...

Maybe users prefer Giganews...
but it's not free.

Searching for Newsgroups with Microsoft
Outlook Express

The following free server might be worth
a try also.

test.news.mediaways.net

There's also a great community called
AnnexCafe that has lots of useful newsgroups
but you do have to sign up for a free account.
http://www.annexcafe.com/newsgroups/

The tech group where I find lots of useful
info is called:
annexcafe.general.user2user
