What in the world are you talking about?
I don't need IE in any version to read and post in this newsgroup.
All you need is a news reader (there are many very good free ones,
as opposed to junk like OE) and access to a news server (microsoft
makes its news server open to all).
Hi David,
While you and I know the benefits of using a newsreader, some folks get to
the newsgroups through a web interface, mostly google or the microsoft
communities websites. Pietro was having difficulty with the Microsoft one.
There could be many reasons, including firewalls, trusted zones,
permissions, etc.
I use OE, which may not be the best one, but I've been using it for many
years and am comfortable with its speed and ease of use. Two of the better
free ones are Thunderbird and Free Agent. I've tried them both, but keep
coming back to OE because I'm comfortable with it and it is on all my
computers.
