I just tried to access "Discussions...outlookexpress.general" but the forum
seems to have died. Any info on what happened?
 
Where have you been the past few months?

Microsoft is discontinuing newsgroups and transitioning users to Microsoft
forums. All public newsgroups will eventually be closed between June 1, 2010
and October 1, 2010. Microsoft will be closing newsgroups in a phased
approach, starting with the least active newsgroups and moving eventually to
more active ones throughout the course of the next six months.

Newsgroups removed as of June 1, 2010

You can still access the groups on some non-MS servers such as Eternal
September, but how long the quality of questions and replies lasts is
unknown.
