Microsoft Communities? News Groups

[Dennis Duke]

When I first started using Vista Windows Mail, I think I had (in the
left-hand pane of Windows Mail) "Local Folders" for mail and "Usenet News"
and "Microsoft Communities" for news groups. I'm not sure what the Microsoft
group was called but I deleted it as I thought I probably would never use
it. Is there a way to get it back as I am curious to see what was available
there?

paste this link into your browser's address window:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/
then key enter or click "go" and WinMail will open the communities.
You may want to munge your email address. Here's more info:

Head on over to the following page at Microsoft's website on how to
configure your newsreader to read Microsoft's Public Newsgroups:
