I've subscribed to the MS NGs via that server but am not sure how long that will be worthwhile, Panic. Asi es la vida ... long live NNTP ! MowGreen

From: Dan on 2 Jul 2010 04:44 Why suggest msnews.microsoft.com? That's the server cluster at MS that is being shut down! :P You can still access stuff on msnews.microsoft.com because MS haven't cleared them all down yet, looks like the office monkey forgot to delete the IE newsgroups last night ...
