The senders and the receivers. Now with MS's newsgroups, because they don't propagate you have to have your news program to use msnews.microsoft.com, and not news.yourhost.com. I can't see, however, that you send mail to the newsserver that way, you use your smtp server to send it. I think. I went to an ms newsgroup to the first piece there but it was sent by google groups.

I went through five posts and four of them were from google and the fifth was using Entourage. The fifth one was "US-ASCII" and 7 bit. There is, as I'm sure you're aware no requirement to be even using a Mac to read and post to a mac oriented newsgroup, even a Microsoft newsgroup. I often read them using something else other than Entourage because, truth be told, both E'rage and Outlook aren't very good news readers. Especially when it comes to joining posts. I suspect that the ONLY reason they are there is to provide some sort of access to the MSNEWS server and that the people writing the code did just as much as they had to to make it work.
