News groups - where are they now?

[John Leonard - Sage]

Always used Mail (which no loger exists) for my news groups.

Are the Discussion Groups and Windows 7 Forum, the only way to get news now?

or

Can I duplicate "Mail" capabilities?

thx

You're actually in the wrong group to ask but Google will help you:

You'll be spoilt for choice so you may want to try a few before making a
decision - most are free.

Get Mozilla Thunderbird and stay in these groups. The forum interface
stinks. Only MS frowns on newsgroups, it seems.

Thunderbird is not that bad, but IMO still not the best way to read
newsgroups. I prefer Xana
http://xananews.techtips.com.br/

It is fast and flexible and very convenient. It takes a few days of
getting used to, but after that, you don't want to switch anymore, IME.
It is actively being developed.

Very good recommendation Rudy

Windows Mail is now Live Mail. You can download it from download.live.com.
