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.

Add the news server news.mozilla.org to your news reader....

============================
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

Also...you could try Google Groups.

Hi Gordon, so it is, but that server only carries about 80 mozilla groups.
http://www.motzarella.org/ carries all the alt etc groups, about 30,000.

True - but the news.mozilla.org server carries the official mozilla support
groups - the OP is more likely to get good advice from there rather than any
of the alt. groups.. ;-)

Possibly?
But the other server carries the Netscape support groups too :-)

Windows Mail can handle more than one newsgroup server at a time. See if
this you add Roadrunner's newsgroup server:

If you want a text newsgroup not available on Roadrunner's server, and
they won't add it for you, you might also try adding this one:

http://www.motzarella.org/

For news.mozilla.org you don't. Just set up a new news account in your
newsreader and use the server news.mozilla.org.
