For those of you who are using the Microsoft web-based
newsreader, consider doing yourself a favor and using a
newsreader instead. Outlook Express, which comes with Windows
will do, or there several third-party choices, both freeware and
shareware. The web-based newsreader is the slowest, clunkiest way
to participate in newsgroups, and it's very hard to find what
you're looking for.

Also note that even if you are using the Microsoft web-based
newsreader, when you reply you are given the option of including
the message you're replying to.
