And yes - I know you are using the Microsoft "web interface" to access these
newsgroups and not a newsreader or Google Groups.

My suggestion above remains the same - I will even take it a step farther
and suggest you drop using the Microsoft "web interface" to utilize these
newsgroups and utilize a newsreader and/or Outlook Express (XP) / Windows
Mail (Vista)...

Outlook Express (XP):

Windows Mail (Vista):

Setting Up Windows Mail to Read Newsgroups

When you set up Windows Mail for e-mail, it automatically sets itself up
with a news account for the Microsoft Communities newsgroups. This account
gives you access to a wide range of Microsoft related newsgroups. For wider
reading, you'll probably want to set Windows Mail up to read newsgroups
provided by your ISP or another online service provider. To set up Windows
Mail to read newsgroups, take the following steps:

1. Open Windows Mail as usual for example, choose Start E-mail.
2. Choose Tools Accounts. Windows Mail displays the Internet Accounts dialog
box.
3.Click the Add button. Windows Mail displays the Select Account Type screen
..
4. Select the Newsgroup Account item, and then click the Next button.
Windows Mail displays the Your Name screen.
5. In the Display Name text box, type the name you want to use for your
posts. Depending on whether you'll be posting personally or professionally,
you may want to use a pseudonym or a variation of your name.
6. Click the Next button. Windows Mail displays the Internet News E-mail
Address screen.
7. In the E-mail Address text box, type the e-mail address that you want to
use for your posts. You may want to use a variation of your real e-mail
address to throw off spammers.
8. Click the Next button. The wizard displays the Internet News Server Name
screen.
9. Type the name of your news server in the News NNTP Server text box. If
you don't know the name, consult your ISP.
10. If you need to log on to the news server, select the My News Server
Requires Me to Log On check box. Many news servers don't require you to log
on.
11. Click the Next button. If you didn't select the check box in the
previous step, the wizard displays its Congratulations page. Go to step 13.
12. If you did select the My News Server Requires Me to Log On check box,
the wizard displays the Internet News Server Logon screen. Enter your
account name and password. Select the Remember Password check box if you
think the convenience of not having to enter the password outweighs the
marginal risk of storing it. Then click the Next button. The wizard displays
the Congratulations page.
13.Click the Finish button. The wizard closes, returning you to the Internet
Accounts dialog box.
14. Click the Close button. Windows Mail displays the Subscribe to
Newsgroups dialog box.
15. Click the appropriate button:

.. If you want to use Windows Mail's Communities features which include the
ability to see message ratings and rankings and download a list of
newsgroups, click the Show Available Newsgroups and Turn on Communities
button. At this writing, many newsgroups do not support Communities, and in
others, the Communities features appear not to be fully implemented - but
matters may have improved by the time you read this.

.. If you just want to download a list of newsgroups, click the Show
Available Newsgroups, but Don't Turn on Communities button.

.. If you don't want to download the list of newsgroups now, click the Don't
Download Newsgroups Now button. You'll need to download the list of
newsgroups at some point, but if you're currently using a dial-up
connection, you might prefer to leave the download until later.

16.If you chose to download the newsgroups, Windows Mail displays the
Downloading Newsgroups dialog box while it downloads them.

Re: Sort by date

What's your Suggestion? How does this pertain to Windows Update?

Re: Sort by date

I did set up the windows mail feature and will hope that it is more user
friendly. However, I don't see the list of newsgroups that are better
organized as they are on this community page.

Scrolling down the list is arduous instead of just looking at a page to
choose you do here.

And I don't like to have to have all the listings for the world, would like
only English newsgroups.

THanks

In Windows Mail/Outlook Express - you choose which groups you subscribe to
and you only see those groups...

Re: Sort by date

Thanks, I will keep trying to get it to work.

Cannot find the discussion group for Office.

When I click on help, discussion in communities, etc. I get the page with 3
choices: ms discussion groups home, communities home, communities worldwide.

On the left column the different discussion groups are listed. If I click
on office for example, and do a search, I get the old web based interface.
Same if I click on Communities home.

If I open windows mail from "All Programs" and instead of using the help
tab, I click on Tools> newsgroups, I get a list of sites, but not
ms.public.office.

That is my dilemma.

Re: Sort by date


I did click on all the links in your message.

The problem is that the list that drops when you are inside the windows mail
newsgroup is all other countries - not the United States.

And, shouldn't we stay inside the windows mail to search?

Since it has been said that the web interface is horrible ??

Thanks again

Huh? Are you referring to accessing MS newsgroups in Windows Mail* (Vista)
or are you referring to the Windows Mail newsgroup itself
(microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail)?

MS newsgroups cover all MS applications. Some newsgroups are
language-specific (e.g., microsoft.public.fr.ie7) but you'll find users from
all over the world in most English-language newsgroups.
