Hi Paeby - did this get resolved by MS?

Who is Paeby? This is a public newsgroup....and the post to which you are
trying to reply is no longer showing up on the server. Neither have you
quoted it in your message.....I highly doubt anyone will know what you're
talking about.

Try using a news client, such as Forte Agent, Thunderbird, or even Outlook
Express, rather than the method you're using now (which I presume is a web
forum that contains cached info from the MS public newsgroups). It's a lot
easier to do nearly everything that way. You can mark messages to be
watched, filter the views so you can see replies to your posts easily, and
search.

The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can
subscribe to as many groups as you like; no authentication is required.
