Hi,

Thank you for all of you who took the time to reply. I hadn't used Usenet
for well over a decade!

Per instructions, I registered with eternal.September.org and set up Windows
mail. It works wonderful with the snail dial up account I have.

Thank you all,

Hi,

Sorry about cross posting, but after reading my question you'll see why
it was necessary.

Where I live, the only newsgroup which I can access is on Microsoft's
server; no other newsgroups are offered thru any ISPs (because of
POLITIKAL considerations).

I know that Google offers browser-based newsgroup review and posting,
but its interface is far from the convenience of a traditional
newsreader such as Windows Mail, Outlook Express etc.

Does anyone know of a way to get around this and access a server by a
something like Windows Mail?

Please post a reply and don't respond by email.

Thank you,

Bijan

I use Thunderbird to access Microsoft, OpenOffice, Mozilla, and AIOE
servers. Works just fine. Verizon, my ISP, dropped .alt groups a year or
so ago and later dropped all newsgroups.
