It's because the server where the bulk of the messages came from (msnews.microsoft.com) is no longer carrying this newsgroup. Microsoft has decided to get away from newsgroups and switch to web forums and as a result they are closing down their news server. -- Roy Smith Windows 7 Professional Thunderbird 3.1.1 Sunday, August 01, 2010 8:52:15 AM |
