| | How can I subsribe to non Microsoft Communities newsgroups? I am running Vista and have Roadrunner for my ISP. Is there a way to get newsgroups other than Microsoft Communities, using Microsoft Mail program? A mozilla newsgroup for example. |

Maybe the Usenet servers listed for Roadrunner at the following link will work. Or you could check with their support site for more info: News Server Addresses For ISPs http://www.usenettools.net/ISP.htm Also...you could try Google Groups. http://groups.google.com/grphp?tab=ig -- John Inzer Digital Media MVP Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk |
