Sorry, this is a public newsgroup - I doubt anyone in here has the power to
change the MS website layout, or would do so just because one person thinks
it sucks.

However, since the CDO interface is pretty limited anyway, why use it in the
first place? Consider using a newsreader like Outlook Express or Forte Agent
rather than the web interface to the newsgroups - it's a lot easier to do
nearly everything there, including searching, which is always a good idea to
do before you post, as well as mark messages to be watched, and filter based
on replies to your posts.

The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can
subscribe to as many groups as you like.

For tips on using the web interface, should you prefer to use it, see

Mine has not changed. How are you accessing the newsgroups?

Hint - Are you using Outlook to view newsgroups? What version of
Outlook? (Do any versions offer newsgroup access?)

Maybe Outlook Express? That's in another newsgroup and Microsoft does
not follow the messages in these newsgroups so if you want Outlook Express
changed, you will need to contact Microsoft.

No...not natively. Outlook isn't a newsreader & never has been.

The poster is using the CDO interface (you can always check this if you look
at their message properties, btw). :-)
