hi. Forced to use my husband's computer right now. he doesn't like to share.
:-)

he uses yahoo email. I set up Windows mail for the first time on his pc so I
can get to newsgroups. All I can find via Windows mail are microsoft groups.
How can I get to alt.binaries.comp-graphics from here?

Thanks!!

That is all that is available on the MS news server.

You need to check if your ISP provides a news feed, or pay for access to
one, or even find a free server?

Try http://www.motzarella.org it is free and good. Enjoy.

The Microsoft news server only carries the in-house newsgroups.
For other newsgroups, add another newsgroup account, which
would typically use your ISP's news (NNTP) server. Your ISP
should have directions on their website.
