Re: Posting to Microsoft Communities using Vista Mail

That is because you are attempting to send a email message, rather than a
newsgroup reply. Make sure you only click on the "Reply Group" and not on
the "Reply All" button on the Toolbar since the email addresses shown are
all bogus and created only as a convenience for those who are attempting to
post anonymously via the web.
