When I receive a response from Windows XP Newsgroups in Outlook Express, I

can not open the link to read the response for my question. Is there a

setting that I need to adjust in options?

If you are using Outlook Express as your newsreader, there is no link to

open to view a reply. Could you mean something other than a link?

 

I see this is posted via the Web interface.

Hi John,

 

I hate to ask the obvious, but are you clicking the plus (+) sign in front

of your post? The responses will follow from there.

 

HTH,

Also John,

 

Add microsoft.public.test to your Outlook Express list of "Subscribed"

groups. You can use that newsgroup for all the testing you want.

I assume that Microsoft's Web interface to these newsgroups has a

feature to notify you by e-mail if someone responds to one of your

posts. But instead of using the Web to interface with Usenet, you would

have a much better experience using a proper news client. Many are

available: Agent, Thunderbird, and even Outlook Express to name just a

few.

 

And since you're already using OE, why not configure it to access these

newsgroups? Then a simple Control+H will filter out all threads *except*

the ones you are participating in. For more info, see:

What you need to adjust is what group you post in. Do you see OE in

this group's title? No.

 

Ask elsewhere
